What You Will Do

Travel through two thousand years of history, meeting Saxons, the Knights Templar, Charles Dickens, Freemasons, and the Bow Street Runners! On our guided walking tour we'll travel across Holborn, with its highs and lows over the past two-thousand years. We'll learn about the turmoil of the Saxon period, visit the locations of Fagin's den and execution in Oliver Twist, see the splendour of Freemasons' Hall and the Knights Templar headquarters, hear about a couple of London's most notorious prisons, and discover the world's largest collection of retail silver! The guided walking tour begins outside Covent Garden Station, ends near to Blackfriars Station, and will take around two hours. Ticket sales will be limited to fifteen attendees, to ensure maximum enjoyment for everybody on the tour.
