Twilight Walking Tour

Bankside
Price: £20.00 SELECT DATE

Be transported back to London’s ‘Kingdom of Night’ and discover Shakespeare’s fascination with the dark on our Twilight Walking Tour of the Bankside area and beyond.

Murderous midnights in Macbeth, early morning treason in Julius Caesar, after-dark scheming in Henry IV Part I & II. References to sinister night-time activity are rife in Shakespeare’s plays.

Follow our expert Guides into the City of London and allow them to invoke the ‘absolute darkness’ of the 16th Century and discover where Shakespeare’s fascination with night might have come from.

Plus: What was a ‘linkboy’? Who was Elizabeth Holland? Why was Bankside originally known as ‘The Stews’? And how were all of these important to London’s nocturnal world in Shakespeare’s time? There’s only one way to find out – your twilight adventure awaits.

Twilight Walking Tours start and end in the Main Foyer of Shakespeare’s Globe. They do not include access into the Globe Theatre.

‘What a fearful night is this!
There’s two or three of us have seen strange sights.’

Julius Caesar, Act I, scene 3
