Description
We will stop at The Crown Tavern on Clerkenwell Green for refreshment, light bites (such as pitta bread and humous), feeding and baby change. If you want more than a light bites please bring a sandwich.
'Bring Your Baby' Guided London Walks are sensitively devised to suit parents and carers of even the tiniest babies to enjoy London’s history. We can stop whenever you like to feed and change - without the stress of feeling you are holding up the group.
You are welcome to bring friends and family who do not also have a baby (every adult needs a ticket).
What you'll see on this walk:
- The hidden away former Carthusian Monastery of The Charterhouse, dating from 1348
- The then-filthy and dangerous market Oliver Twist visits with Bill Sikes. Also described by Pip from 'Great Expectations'
- The street once home to Fagin's den
- The long, dark alleyway once known as 'Pissing Alley'
- The court from which the Artful Dodger, Oliver Twist and Charley Bates emerge onto to pickpocket people on Clerkenwell Green, and where Oliver is accused of pickpocketing Mr Brownlow outside a bookstall
- The 1504 gatehouse of the Priory of St John of Jerusalem for the Knights Hospitaller, dissolved under Henry VIII then used as a newspaper office by Samuel Johnson, writer of the first dictionary, and later known to Dickens as The Old Jerusalem Tavern
- The Sessions House attended by workhouse manager Mr Bumble
- The site of 'Little Hell': one of the worst slums, or rookeries in London
- The building where Lenin worked and the pub where he first met Stalin
- St. James' Church, where Pocahontas' son was married in 1632 & where Dick Turpin's accomplice was buried
