SHAKESPEARE'S GLOBE THEATRE BUSTLING MARKET CHAUCER, DICKENS AND HARRY POTTER LONDON BRIDGE AND SOUTHWARK CATHEDRAL
Let your private guide lead you through the fascinating streets south of the river, where vibrant thoroughfares suddenly give way to quiet alleys and cobbled yards. From London’s last remaining galleried coaching inn, conjuring up images of Dickensian London, to bustling Borough Market, used in several films including "Bridget Jones' Diary" and "Harry Potter", we explore the varied history of this area.
London Bridge may no longer be falling down but we discover why it did, why there is a spike at one end and some of the characters, real and imagined, associated with this iconic London structure.
You may like to take an optional tour inside an Old Operating Theatre and herb garret to hear stories of the development of medicine and surgery.
We pass the reconstruction of Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre with the option of a tour inside to visit the world’s largest exhibition
devoted to Shakespeare and the London in which he lived and worked. See how a former power station has been converted into the world’s
most popular and breathtaking gallery of modern art, Tate
Modern.
This tour can be a half or full day tour depending on optional
visits. It can be combined with our St
Paul’s Cathedral and Legal London tour or be a full day Literary
London tour. |
