This unique guided 2 hour walking tour brings the stories of London's lady criminals to life using theatre, comedy and costumed actors. Learn about four very different real true crime cases from the 1800's and walk in the footsteps of these women.
You will visit places where crimes took place, where people were imprisoned and executed. The tour brings a distinctly feminist angle to the subject matter- analysing how female criminals were perceived and treated during this period and how much has changed.
**CONTENT TRIGGER WARNING - contains themes of murder, abuse, child abuse, violence and sex. We include dramatic reenactments of executions that may be triggering to some.**

City of London
London has a long, dark legacy of trial, punishment and execution. Join us on a journey to discover four of the lesser-known female felons of London's past.
From the Old City of London to the bustling West End, allow your Guide to show you the places that crimes and executions took place in the 1800's and early 1900's, and introduce you to the women responsible for them!
You will hear stories and dramatic re-enactments** of...
...A 22 year old 'Criminal Mastermind'...
...A 'poisonous' domestic servant...
...A murderous foster carer...
...A cunning courtesan...
We will also examine how female criminals were perceived and treated during this period, the influence of class and race, and whether things have changed much today in the criminal justice system, and in society as a whole.
Please note - distances between stops can be up to 17 minutes of walking. There are no stops on this tour. It is your responsibility to make sure that you have reasonable fitness to take part.
