About this experience
The London Witches and History Bankside Walking Tour is a costumed, character-led walking tour through the Bankside and Southwark area of London, led by a guide dressed as a witch. Starting near London Bridge, the route covers some of the oldest streets on the south bank of the Thames, weaving documented historical accounts of accused witches with the broader story of the neighbourhood. Southwark has one of the densest concentrations of medieval and Tudor heritage in London, and the tour draws on that setting throughout. The route takes in Winchester Walk, the edges of Borough Market, Clink Street, and Bankside, passing the ruins of Winchester Palace, a Tudor replica ship, Southwark Cathedral, and the site of the Globe Theatre. The guide introduces figures including Nicholas Culpepper, Elizabeth Barton, Jinny Bingham, and Old Joan Butts, each with their own contested history. St Paul's Cathedral is visible across the river at several points along the way. Tickets cover the full guided walk; the tour runs for a set duration and departs from the London Bridge area, with specific schedule and meeting point details confirmed at booking.
