Wig and Pen

Lawyer's London meets Literary London on this tour of the Temple, Fleet Street and surrounds. See the secluded sector of the City where the Knights Templar once worshiped and where Barristers have lived and worked for over 800 years. Walk in the footsteps of Dr Johnson, Boswell, Goldsmith and Lamb. See where Paradise Lost and Gulliver's Travels were first published, where 'Rumpole of the Bailey' was conceived, where WB Yeats and Mark Twain drank and where journalists ruled the roust for a century.

This tour takes in the journalist's church of St Bride; the Express, Telegraph and Reuter's buildings of Fleet Street; the site of the first ever production of Shakespeare's 'Twelfth Night' and the setting for a scene from Dan Brown's DaVinci Code.
