SUITABLE FOREveryone
The River Fleet was once a major geographical feature and transport route of old London. Now invisible above ground, we will follow its lower course from Kings Cross to the Thames.
You will learn how to recognise the marks it has left behind, while discovering the location of a royal mistress’s riverside residence and a notorious Dickens criminal’s secret lair. You’ll also learn a Georgian Londoners’ cure for gonorrhoea, and why a City pub applied for its licence from Cambridgeshire.
This tour is graded as moderate access, as it is a walking tour covering up to 3 miles with few places to stop and sit down.
