Fleet Street: People, Places and Pubs tour
About this Event
Still the spiritual home of the newspaper industry. The pavements once vibrated to the sound of printing presses as they churned out the news for an expectant nation. However, Fleet Street's story is far richer, as lawyers, bankers, publicans, and authors plied their trades here.
The 'Street of the Ink' (sometimes known as the 'Street of Shame'), has a cast of historical characters and events that make it one of the most interesting streets in London.
From being the birthplace of the wedding cake and commercial printing, to the haunt of Charles Dickens, Dr. Johnson and the legendary "Demon Barber" Sweeney Todd, Fleet Street has stories to fascinate and enthrall young and old.
