Castles, Crusaders, Communists & Courts

여기가 출발점이다

St. Paul's Cathedral

Marvel at the beautiful cathedral of the City of London, the latest in the long time of holy sanctuaries to be built here since before the Roman times.

Old Bailey

The Oldest Court in the Western World and famous for its high profile cases that still are held here today.

The Viaduct Tavern

This old pub infamously has jail cells beneath it where people would await their fate... normally being publicly executed just outside as highlighted in the works of Charles Dickens.

WIlliam Wallace Memorial

See the place where William Wallace of Braveheart fame died, along with many others through the ages.

Church of St. Bartholomew the Great

We will explore the ancient church, often used in movies and built by a dying crusader who had had a vision of a Saint in the Holy Lands. We will also visit nearby sites associated with the same encounter.

The Charterhouse

Charterhouse Square, one of the largest plague pits before entering Charterhouse chapel and amongst other things seeing a recently discovered skeleton of a victim of the Black Death (Plague).

The Museum of the Order of St John

We will see the gatehouse belonging to the Knights of St John Crusaders and have a quick look inside at their collection of weapons and armour.

The Crown Tavern

Marx Memorial Library

The communist heritage of Clerkenwell continues with this working institute.

Ely Place

Lincoln's Inn

The largest square in London though rarely visited by tourists which is a shame as it is a beautiful, ancient and tranquil square with great halls, a wonderful chapel and well tended gardens. Home to one of the great Inns of Court.

Royal Courts of Justice

We will finish at the Royal Courts of Justice, one of the great courts which stands at the end of famous old Fleet Street on the borders of the City of London and the City of Westminster.
