There are some great walks coming up in the LONDON FOOTSTEPS programme - so check them out and make a note in your diary.
Tuesday, 1st May 2007:
MURDER, MEAT AND MEDICINE. Not a walk for the faint-hearted and squeamish...but it does reveal a dark side of London's history. We visit Smithfield, still a meat market today, but once a place of riots, ribaldry and executions. There's also St Bartholomew's Hospital nearby and that has played an extraordinary part in the history of the City.
Meet by the barrier at Platform 11 at Liverpool Street Station at 11 am.

CRIME AND PUNISHMENT
The streets of London were dark and dangerous places in previous centuries. Thieves, highway robbers, murders, pickpockets...it was certainly not safe to go out alone at night in some areas. Punishment was severe...hangings, transportation, whippings and executions. So be prepared for some gory details.
Meet outside the main entrance of Fenchurch Street Station at 10.45 am.
