and sometime venue for the nightly meetings of the rhymers' club, mythologized by william butler yeats as the tragic generation - including inter alia ernest dowson, arthur symons and, on at least one occasion, oscar wilde.
Yes....and William Blake .
Was just going to say - used to work round the corner from here years ago and would often stop by to visit him.
This looks ace. You could also include a bit of Brick Lane graffiti & Mosque (shows off the waves of immigration etc) and then wander off down to Cable St for the story & drama of the murial. Isn't the ripper museum down there too. One to laugh at and avoid.
Yep just vaguely point at the furthest end of Cable Street and say there's a grim little museum down there nowhere near anything exciting and with nothing exciting in it, and nowhere near a station. Unlike here, by the mural, where we'll just spend a few minutes talking about the battle of Cable Street before hopping on Shadwell Overground or DLR
The royal courts of justice aren't in the city are they?
Fuck that. It's not in the city for a start.
Great idea. They love that shit. Teens are obsessed with Illuminati symbols.
Yes. Hence the OP.
I'm not sure. They might be just outside. Only just though.
It's quite a walk from the RCJ to some of the other stuff being mentioned. OU, best advised to pick one or the other unless you are happy to take a bus on your walking tour.
I imagine it's a mile.
I'm definitely going to do the Tower Of London for the gore and stories about ghoslty bears, and Postman's Park. St Ethelberga too. So RCJ would be too far away.
they are outside.
Yep it looks as though Bell Yard is the boundary
Too far out I think- beyond St. Paul's.i'd probably show them south sea house, the royal Africa company and possibly the guildhall. Ooh, and lloyds. That builds a story of the slave trade and is all within a short walk of each other. You could then walk from lloyds to leadenhall rather than going as far as Smithfield- still have the meat hook racks- then past the beavis marks synagogue to talk about how Jewish London and other nationalities have been and gone and on to monument
what route do they suggest?
Then you should go via Pepys St between the tower and Leadenhall.
Which route, and what part of the RCJ and Tower of London?
Most direct route according to google. Pretty much one straight line.
