Who Knew that there are c.250 open spaces in the City? Come and explore the most interesting and learn what they tell us about its history
About this Event

Many of the most interesting sites in the City are somewhat tucked away and often quite small. While the City does not have big parks like those further west (its history means the space was mainly used for trading or churches!) it does have c.250 open and green spaces: many created by the destruction of the Great Fire and the Blitz. They are delightful to find and explore.

We will also see the garden full of drugs which Shakespeare may have visited, for research purposes of course…

A walking tour for those interested in discovering the history, sites and buildings of the City of London: ideal for a day out, a birthday or other event with family and friends.
