Prepare to discover the bloodiest part of London...

Smithfield has been known for its livestock market for centuries, but is also associated with some of the most extreme examples of state brutality, to the execution of William Wallace, to religious opponents of Bloody Mary and the slaying of the leader of the Peasants’ Revolt.

The bloody history has left its mark on every corner, and we'll pull no punches in diving right into it, guts 'n' all.

So for arguably the most morbidly fascinating tour on our roster, this is well worth your while, but perhaps have a light lunch…
Discover the location of one of London’s most important Black Death burial grounds
Find the memorial to Braveheart
See First World War bomb damage
Hear about the bloody history of one of London’s greatest churches
Visit one of the most gorgeous and historical streets in London

Perfect if you love bloody history and want to discover the most fascinating part of London (in our opinion 😉
