Thursday 14 February, 7pm
My Bloody Valentine....Venture into the dark world of London's bloody past on this antidote to Valentine's. Explore narrow lanes, bleeding hearts and body parts.
It’s hardly surprising with its length of history that London is one of the spookiest cities in Europe. This is a 90 minute guided walk filled with martyrs and murders, poltergeists, a 900 year old prison, grave robbers & executions. Learn where we get the phrase "pulling your leg!" and "one for the road".
Take in the sights of: Smithfield Market, St Barts Hospital, St Bart's Church, Cloth Fair, King Henry VIII's Gate, where Christian and Protestant and Catholic martyrs were murdered in a variety of ways, a Watch House built to prevent body snatchers and the last remaining Gin Palace in the City of London.
