This 75-minute guided walk takes you through Covent Garden, the Strand and the surrounding streets, starting and finishing at Freemasons' Hall. Your experienced guide traces the history of Freemasonry, how it shaped society and how it spread across the world.
Expect tales of Masons who served in the armed forces, in the arts and sciences, as Prime Ministers and within the Royal Family. Two stories stand out: a Masonic detective who arrested the Kray Twins, and another who may have identified Jack the Ripper.
Along the way you pass landmarks such as Great Queen Street, Bow Street Magistrates' Court, St Paul's Church Covent Garden and Maiden Lane.
