Historical Tour in Death, Debauchery and Doctors in Soho London Discount Tickets

Overview

Meet madams of bawdy houses, body snatchers and benevolent doctors in an hour and three quarters walk through the alleyways and past the townhouses of the square mile that is Soho. Find out how Soho got its name, what happened to murderers after they were executed and how a brave doctor turned detective to discover how 500 people died of Cholera within a few streets in two weeks in 1854. We cover just over a mile of Soho, from a workhouse, to a picnic spot beneath which lies a secret, to the first anatomy school in London and we visit the sites of the first speciality hospitals in London that cared for women, children and those with the 'foul' disease. There will be some sexual content (historical and tasteful) and some gore. It will be funny and moving - sometimes at the same time.
