Course programme
We spend the first two hours in CityLit with a presentation and map reading to gain a comprehensive picture of what London was like in the fourteenth century. We will break for lunch and meet outside St Paul’s Station (Cathedral side) where we will commence our walk (c. 2 hours) around medieval London. Comfortable shoes and a good imagination are a must!
There are no extra costs other than note-taking materials and public transport to St Paul’s. You are advised to wear comfortable shoes and bring a bottle of water.Additional information
