London has a fantastic history dating back to Roman times when it was named Londinium. Our tour of Borough will uncover the long history of its market and how it ended up being located where it is. Private groups will be personally be guided by me through the area enabling the inquisitive traveller to easily engage with my city's rich culture. We start at the site of the notorious former debtors' prison The Marshalsea, home to the family of Charles Dickens. Fancy a beer at London's only surviving coaching inn, grade 1 listed? See the site of the birthplace of John Harvard and stroll through the remnants of London's brewing history and the location of what was then the largest brewery in the world. We finish in the bustling market just off London Bridge and you will have the opportunity to sample the delicious food on offer. My tour can be customized according to your preferences.
We will meet at the Royal Oak (located in Borough), next to the former site of the Marshalsea Prison. We then take a walk along Borough High Street and learn about the historic coaching inns that used to line the throroughfare, the only road into London in times gone by. We will stop at the last remaining coaching inn, originally built in mediaeval times which is grade 1 listed and owned by the National Trust. Onwards to the Victorian Hop Exchange and then to the former site of the Anchor Brewery which was built next to Shakespeare's Globe Theatre and was once the largest brewery in the world. From there we walk past the notorious Clink Prison which operated for over 60 years. Then on to the 12th century Winchester Palace and the Golden Hinde - the first ship to circumnavigate the world. Our tour culminates at Borough Market where we will explore the many various food and drink stalls, sample the foods on offer and maybe indulge in some shopping.
