Ribaldry, Radicals & Reform – a guided tour of North Clerkenwell & Pentonville

The tour will span over 400yrs of history including: the origins of one of the country’s oldest theatres; an engineering wonder from the Elizabethan times; the site of what was once Britain’s most notorious prison; a Victorian scandal; the open spaces that were once home to spas, pleasure gardens and occasionally protest & insurrection; the building that pioneered the NHS, the stories of famous authors, illustrators and the scene of a Hollywood blockbuster!

Review:
“Andy was a brilliant tour guide. I think the best l’ve ever listened to and l’ve attended a lot of tours both in London and abroad. Andy is a very good story teller and he brought the area of North Clerkenwell alive. He remembered so many names and facts without notes and answered any questions thrown at him cheerfully. I would definitely recommend. Thank you.”
