Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Pass By: Trafalgar Square, Centre of the City, London SW1A England
Throughout the summer of 1887, much to the consternation of the authorities, the poor and the destitute of London had been congregating in Trafalgar Square to sleep rough in the open air.
By October this was being seen in official circles as a direct challenge to the forces of law, and order and the Home Secretary, Sir Henry Matthews, tasked Sir Charles Warren, the Metropolitan Police Commissioner, with ensuring that the practice was stamped out sooner rather than later.
Pass By: Fleet Street, Fleet St, London EC4A England
Sweeney Todd, “The Demon Barber of Fleet Street” first came to prominence in the mid 19th century since when he has appeared in books, plays, a musical and in films. His gruesome story caught the public imagination yet again in 2008 when Johnny Depp played him in Tim Burton’s film Sweeney Todd. But who was this murderous barber, and when, if ever, did he live?
