Despre activitate
Step back in time to one of the most infamous periods of history. We’ll follow in the footsteps of Thomas Cromwell and the streets and lanes that he’d have known so well.
We will see some of the places where Thomas Cromwell worked. Right in the middle of the City are the remains of what were his incredible City of London estate. We will see some of the surviving remnants of Tudor London. We’ll visit places relating to Sir Thomas More, King Henry VIII , Catherine of Aragon and much more.
This is a great tour to see parts of London no-one else sees. There’ll be no other tourists around! Join us as we explore the beating heart of the oldest districts in the City and connect with Tudor London.
As huge fans of Thomas Cromwell, Tudor history and Wolf Hall, we just knew we had to create this tour. Thomas Cromwell’s Tudor London Walking Tour isn’t just for fans of Wolf Hall. It’s also for anyone with an interest in Thomas Cromwell, the Tudors and of course King Henry VIII too.
