Nous avons désigné cette visite comme particulièrement sûre pendant l'épidémie de coronavirus en raison des endroits généralement calmes que nous visitons où la distanciation sociale n'est généralement pas un problème. Toutes nos visites sont privées, il n'y a donc que vous/votre famille et votre guide. Pour faciliter et sécuriser les choses pour toutes les personnes concernées, nous vous suggérons de commencer cette visite un peu plus tard que l'heure habituelle, peut-être vers 10h30-11h, ce qui nous permet à tous d'éviter les heures de pointe. Nous serions heureux de venir vous chercher à votre hôtel, mais pour le moment, nous vous suggérons de nous rencontrer au point de départ de la visite. Cela vous permet d'arriver en taxi ou en uber plutôt qu'en transports en commun. N'hésitez pas à porter des masques tout au long ou à certains moments de la visite. Votre guide aura également un masque avec lui.

Wapping has a long history that goes all the way back to Anglo Saxon times, before it was even part of London and it takes its name from the old word Wapol, meaning ‘Marsh’.
This whole area has been shaped by the river whether it is the great voyages of exploration, Victorian heavy industry and the docks, terrible Dickensian slums that hugged the river, the dreadful destruction of the Blitz or its modern day resurgence with big business and leisure.
We will visit famous old pubs, places of execution and great philanthropy as well as visiting locations relating to some of the most famous names in history such as Captain Cook, Thomas Jefferson, Martin Frobisher, Sir Walter Raleigh, Charle...
