What you can expect

  • Join your characterful witch guide and hear the true historical tales of suspected London witches across the ages. Witness fascinating pieces of London history along the way too; hear secrets of Southwark Cathedral, The Golden Hinde, The Globe Theatre, Millennium Bridge and so very much more await on this character led walking tour.

    Starting by the infamous London Bridge your friendly costumed witch guide will lead you across Southwark's Southbank cobbles, seamlessly weaving history with vibrant storytelling. Widen your eyes to the tales of London’s real witches as you uncover the truth about the likes of Nicholas Culpepper – people’s herbalist or bad boy herb doctor? Was Elizabeth Barton really that gifted? What about Jinny Bingham, did she deserve the nickname “Mother Damnable”? And did Old Joan Butts get off Scot-Free? You make your own mind up on this magical educational journey to the past.

    You will wind your way down Winchester Walk, bob around the edges of Borough Market, clatter your way down Clink Street and buzz down Bankside. An intriguing Tudor ship and ruined Winchester Palace cannot be missed along the way. Your faithful guide will happily point out a certain Elizabethan dramatic playhouse as well as the breathtakingly iconic landmarks across the river including the majestic St. Paul’s Cathedral of course…

    In an experience that brings together true stories, history, and a wisdom that we can learn from our terrible ways of the past, you are sure to fall in love with this historic small part of the city and be enthralled by London’s witchy chronicles. You may even see some famous filming locations from Harry Potter along the way!

    Don’t miss the chance to join London’s wonderful Witches & History Bankside Walking Tour and see things as you never have before…
