Mid-15th century London boils with political strife as the great houses of Lancaster and York battle to rule the kingdom

Visit significant sites from the Wars of the Roses in the City of London, from Henry VI’s troubled reign, to Edward IV’s Yorkist rule, and the short and terrible monarchy of Richard III.

Starting at the Globe to learn about Shakespeare’s later writings on the decades-long drama before heading off to hear of how events swirled in the capital – and ending at the bloody Tower of London.

Stories of the battle across London Bridge and the Siege of London, murders and executions, walks of shame and rumoured black magic feature throughout our walk, covering one of the darkest periods of English history.

The walk is intended to last 2.5 hours and cover a distance of ~4.5km as we traverse the once-walled City and bring to life medieval London.
