Ribaldry, radicals and reformers – the north Clerkenwell walk

Come and join us on this entertaining walk through 400 years of the development of this Georgian suburb – one of London’s earliest. Discover the 17th century civil engineering project that transformed the capital, the 18th century delights of Islington’s pleasure gardens such as Sadler’s Wells, the 19th century radicals who tried to ferment revolution and the world of Victorian scandal, crime and punishment. During our walk we will also meet the 20th century reformers who pioneered modern London, including the NHS and the world beyond.
