This tour visits the poignant Memorial to Heroic Self-Sacrifice in Postman's Park which remembers dozens of everyday people who lost their lives saving family, friends, and complete strangers.
We will visit locations where people lived and died who are commemorated in the memorial and visit parts of London other tours don't come close to seeing as we explore what life was like in Victorian times and remember some of the most tremendous acts of bravery imaginable that are now sadly all but forgotten.
We will also learn about the poverty of the times and how the sacrifices of these heroes helped bring about change that finally ended the suffering of these poor but brave and dignified Londoners.
Postman's Park is one of the spots in my Secret Gardens of the City of London Walk, a #1 ranking tour and book.
This new tour is connected to my latest book Angels of Postman's Park which is out in the Spring of 2023.
