London Ancient Street Markets Walk

Written By Admin

3-hour tours t 11am and 6pm around some of London`s oldest and most traditional street markets.  Sandra Shevey has researched 15 heritage street markets across 33 London boroughs and offers 3 market, 3 hours tours twice daiily.  The walks are filled with obscure bits of information about the origins of the markets, their charters, famous people who lived around and wrote about the markets, as well as other trivia.  Sandra reads from renowned authors such as Charles Dickens on the walks and also references her own essays and features.  Filmbites from Sandra`s dvd about saving the London markets are played.

It is a good idea however to obtain the dvd before travelling as it familiarises with what you`re  going to see and what you should expect.  The 30 min colour digiital dvd references markets including Smithfield, Spitalfield, Borough and Covent Garden.
