Uncovering a buried palace, the world’s oldest Anglo-Saxon dock and the theatre where Shakespeare made his fortune.
About this Event

It is easy to miss some of the gems of Lost London along this route including a large buried palace that determined a lot of British history, the oldest Anglo-Saxon dock in the world and the theatre where Shakespeare made most of his money - no, not The Globe.


Victor Keegan is a former Guardian journalist who has written three books on Lost London including his latest published this year “Thorney, London‘s forgotten Island“
