Led by Shakespeare aficionado Declan McHugh - a professional actor and dedicated researcher for over 40 years - this entertaining tour will take you to the places that played a significant role in Shakespeare's life north of the Thames.

Starting outside Blackfriars station, Declan will bring the Bard's world to life by performing some of his most memorable speeches and sonnets in the places where he lived and worked.

You'll visit the location of his second home, his old haunts, the remains of an ancient monastery, plaques, statues and secret memorials... and even a towering totem pole inscribed with one of his speeches!

Note: The tour concentrates on areas north of the Thames (so no Globe Theatre). You'll visit places around St. Paul's Cathedral like Cheapside, Queen Victoria Street, Love Lane, Carter Lane and Ireland Yard, and areas around the Barbican including St. Giles Cripplegate and London Wall.
