THE BRIDGE: SOUTHWARK MYSTERIES GUIDED WALK
Sunday 6 April
2pm (please arrive 15 minutes before departure) at Tabard
Street piazza,  Tabard Street; �9 (conc �8); booking advised
Local history vividly brought to life on these guided walks
with writer-performer John Constable, author of The
Southwark Mysteries and Secret Bankside. Exactly a thousand
years ago in 1014, King Olave of Norway dramatically
destroyed the old London Bridge; an event which gave rise to
the popular nursery rhyme. The later bridge, familiar to
Shakespeare, survived until Charles Dickens' time. On this
walk we'll explore the London Bridge environs, south and
then north, of the river that has shaped our history.
