Overview

Come along for a Guided walk on William Shakespeare and the London he lived in! 

We will visit Southwark Cathedral to see the resting place of his brother, an ancient Coaching Inn, see the remains of the Globe and the Rose Theatres.

Starting at London Bridge, we will walk along the southbank to the Globe theatre and then across the bridge to explore his life on the north of the River Thames.

It will take about 2 hours and finish near St Paul's.

Meeting at London Bridge Tube Station (Tooley St exit), across the road next to the London Bridge Experience.

Starting at 1pm.

You can't fail to spot me, I will be dressed up in period costume.

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.

I spent a Sunday afternoon among friendly people learning about Shakespeare's life in London. It was led by an incredible host, who taught us a lot about the history. We also received maps to follow along the landmarks. I recommend this and other walks for everyone who wants to learn about history and spend time in a nice atmosphere.

I have not been on one of Robert’s recently and miss them so much. He is very knowledgeable and interesting. The detail and love of history is very evident. I fully recommend anyone to come along and see and hear this great event.

I really enjoy the guided walks Robert does. He has a passion for history and even dresses up in the costume of the theme of the walk eg Tudor costume on the Shakespeare walk, a Chaplin costume on the Charlie Chaplin walk. The talks are stimulating with the right balance of facts, entertainment and storytelling to keep the group engaged, enthusiastic and asking questions. The Cultureseekers day trips are great too. We travel either by coach or train and the price is very reasonable compared to other competing groups. For £13 a year membership, the coach trips are £22 each and the walks and other events are free. It’s good value! I highly recommend the group for anyone interested in culture and socialising. I even won a book token in the raffle on the last day trip, which was a nice surprise! 🙂

I've been on a number of Cuture Seekers' walks, and have enjoyed all of them. I learned more about Shakespeare than I expected too, along with information about the founding of the theatres in London, and the nature of the area around The Globe. I would recommend this walk to anyone with an interest in Shakespeare anxd the London of the time.
