| | 'What is the city but the people...' William Shakespeare, Coriolanus A tumultuous Renaissance spirit lingers in the alleyways and ancient city streets of London. The very stones have soaked up five centuries worth of atmosphere. As we walk the same hallowed ground that Shakespeare and Jonson did, we may still hear the distant echoes of our Elizabethan past and feel the creative energy that inspired our Renaissance poets. Treading the routes of Medieval rebels and desperate Tudor rioters the weight of time will press upon us and show us a world of vainglorious noble drunks and oppressed serfs. When you join a London History Walks tour, prepare for the city's most exciting history to yield up the secrets of its heart! |
