From Smithfield's meaty markets to serene secret gardens, mix with the medieval, roar with revolution in Victorian alleys, and sparkle with Hatton Garden diamonds. Towers, art, and whispers of William Wallace & Karl Marx-uncover London's hidden pulse. Ready? Let's walk.
Add 'Monks, Mayhem, Meat and Marx - The Hidden Gems of Clerkenwell' to your itinerary:
A hotbed of creation still and once the centre of industries such as gin-making and printing as well as revolution in many different guises. Philosopher Karl Marx lived here - you can visit his local pub - Scotland’s Braveheart William Wallace died here and that ubiquitous chronicler of London life, Charles Dickens, found inspiration working here.
On this tour you’ll hear how this little known backwater on the western fringes of the City was once ground-breaking and world-beating, giving rise to one of the most fascinating neighbourhood histories in the capital
