For hundreds of years Fleet Street was at the heart of the nation’s printing and publishing world, the hub of news and information. As writers gathered in the web of courtyards and alleys surrounding the thoroughfare, it also became a place of debate and discussion. And encircling this world was that of the law in the Inns of Court and the Royal Courts of Justice.

So come along on a walk that will take in some stunning buildings, Dr Samuel Johnson, characters from A Tale of Two Cities,  and a parrot (in)famous for her “colourful” language.
