Informazioni sull'attività

Step back in time and well away from the other tourists as we explore key sites and pivotal moments from two of the biggest disasters to hit London in its over 2,000 year history. We will visit where the Great Plague started and learn how and why it took hold and spread leaving London possibly the worst hit city in the world. We will visit plague pits including the biggest one and will even come face to face with an unfortunate victim of the Black Death who was only recently uncovered. Visit the resting place of Samuel Pepys whose diary gives us such a unique account of life through the Great Plague and the Great Fire of London as we tread the same streets as he did. We will also see where The Great Fire of London started and was extinguished as well as learning how it helped wipe out the Great Plague from London for good. Along the way we will visit various other sites and locations from the Middle Ages and Medieval periods that didn't just change London but the world.

      Underground stations don't often appear as an attraction on tours but this one has a grisly connection with the Great Plague. Try not to think about it too much as we get the tube here!

      Daniel Defore writes memorably about the plague pit that lies beneath. There is plenty of other plague related bits around here and if that's to enough, one of Jack The Rippers victims was killed a few yards away.
