Come and explore the streets of Bankside with our expert guide, who will take you to visit important historic sites in the area. Beginning outside The Rose Playhouse on Park Street, the group will walk to Borough Market, the remains of Winchester Palace, and the environs of Southwark Cathedral, before returning along the riverside and down Bear Gardens.

Learn about Bankside's vibrant locality during the heyday of The Rose Playhouse; in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. The tour is packed full of fascinating stories about the people and activities of Tudor Playing Companies, leisure and 'sporting' pastimes.
