Explore the haunts of writing luminaries and the evolution of publishing freedoms through the centuries in the ancient City of London
A walk around locations important in the lives of Shakespeare, Pepys, Wilde, Donne, Defoe, Johnson and others.
Through these stories the significance of the printing revolution in London emerges, with the fight for publishing freedom continuing into the 20th century.
We will also hear about the origins of earliest Londinium from Tacitus and the hectic 19th century London of Dickens, as well as visiting the remains of Blitz damage, a hidden river and a tribute to a cat.
