Why is Historical Heritage important?
Every year millions of tourists famously flock to London to experience everything the city has to offer in terms of culture, shopping, entertainment and history. While it’s great to celebrate the cultural heritage of London today, which includes joyous parades such as Carnival and Pride, it’s also important to acknowledge some of the darker and sometimes forgotten history, which makes up the foundation of the cultural capital London is today. The Cloak and Dagger Tour invites you on an evening walking tour through the bustling streets of Southwark, south of The Thames, which includes encounters with Medieval Peasants and seedy historical characters, seamlessly blending the past and the present, allowing us to develop a deeper understanding of why London is the way it is today. This is not just sightseeing—it’s an interactive history adventure designed for anyone who loves walking tours, live theatre and dark history.
