Blue Umbrella Walks
Better the devil you know
"From the devil we have come and to the devil we will return." The Plantagenet dynasty held the crown of England for 269 years unbroken. This walk introduces you to some of the Kings, Queens and others associated with a period that saw England change immeasurably.
Our walk starts outside the Tower of London with the story of the two Princes who were imprisoned in the Tower and usurped by their uncle, Richard III. We'll travel through the City and discover how Crown and Church fell out and ended up leading to the death of an Archbishop.
Hear how a King's grief saw the building of some of the City's finest architecture and how it was lost and why the streets of the City ran red with blood.
Our walk finishes by St. Paul's Cathedral.
