Southwark - an exclusive private walking tour full of surprises! (opens in a new tab)

9 3 h 30 min

The Southwark of today is a sophisticated area of London which hides a fascinating history of sleaze and glamour in equal measure. Southwark became the entertainment centre for the City of London where the strict rules meant drinking, gambling dens, brothels, theatres and bear baiting were simply not allowed. Southwark had no such restrictions and so the young men from the City came tripping across London Bridge to sample its delights. But Southwark was not just about supplying its wealthy neighbour: living side by side with Southwark's poor were the Bishops of Winchester in their grand palace next to the magnificent Southwark Cathedral which they supported. Nowadays, there is still so much to see of a bygone era: the magnificent cathedral; the ruins of the once lavish Winchester Palace, the glorious Globe Theatre and the life sized replica of the Golden Hinde.
