Meet with kings, body snatchers, an eighteenth century ghost, and William Wallace (and learn why he was in no fit state to shout "Freeedooom!")
On our virtual tour we'll visit the areas around Smithfield, for centuries London's site of both animal and human slaughter. We'll learn about how the city disposed of the tens of thousands of Black Death corpses in the fourteenth century, the execution methods used in the Middle Ages, and how the area became a notorious slum which Dickens used as the setting for Oliver Twist.
The tour will last around one hour, and you will be sent a Zoom link beforehand in order to log on.
