We will walk about 2 miles, staring at London Bridge and finishing near St Paul's. We will stop at various points, plaques to him and also visit Southwark Cathedral which was his parish church for a short period. During the walk I will tell you about him and how he changed the English language, his friends, contemporaries, his influences and what life in London was like in the late Elizabethan period.
