Unlocked: Walking Tour - The City (24 November)

The tour will take you through the back streets and purlieus of the City of London, exploring the remaining fragments of the ancient capital and topography of the great events and key social and economic trends of the medieval and early modern city. Amid the soaring towers of the 21st century, we shall search out the vestiges of ancient moments in London’s history, from its roots in late antiquity to the era of the great fire.

V&A Academy Unlocked days invite you behind the scenes, bringing you face-to-face with the V&A's extraordinary collections. Join us on this walking tour led by V&A Academy course director Mike Berlin to explore the socio-history of the London 1066-1666. Explore the early London architecture with a group of like-minded London enthusiasts. Starting at Farringdon, the tour will end at the Monument and you will receive a handout at the end of the day that allows you to trace the walking tour in your own time if you wish and tips to explore the V&A Collections further on your next visit.
