Walk: Poets, Playwrights and Publishers

Poets, Playwrights and Publishers in the City

On this walk with Pete Smith, you will discover: the street with no chaste maids; the place where Mr Pickwick stood trial and a modern novelist vowed to spend £20,000.00 on booze; the bank where a children’s writer was nearly gunned down; and the church that unites a 17th century poet, a 20th century Poet Laureate and a Belgian fictional detective.

Meet outside Guildhall Art Gallery in Guildhall Yard.
