Gaol Birds of Old London

Overview

This unique guided 2 hour walking tour brings the stories of London's lady criminals to life using theatre, comedy and costumed actors. Learn about four very different real true crime cases from the 1800's and walk in the footsteps of these women. You will visit places where crimes took place, where people were imprisoned and executed. The tour brings a distinctly feminist angle to the subject matter- analysing how female criminals were perceived and treated during this period and how much has changed. **CONTENT TRIGGER WARNING - contains themes of murder, abuse, child abuse, violence and sex. We include dramatic reenactments of executions that may be triggering to some.** Please note that this tour contains a lot of walking (up to 17 minutes without stopping) so please ensure you are fit enough to take part.
