Theatreland Walking Tours 2010

Join one of the Society of London Theatre’s Theatreland Walking Tours and learn about the history of some of the West End's best loved theatres around Leicester Square and Covent Garden. Along the way you will hear of flamboyant Actor Managers, variety artistes, theatre ghosts, and the story of London theatre from Shakespeare to the contemporary. In addition to admiring the architecture of our larger theatres, you will move away from the beaten track delving into some hidden alleyways to discover some lesser known theatre treasures and gain a greater understanding and appreciation of the area’s rich cultural history.

The tours will be led Diane Burstein, professional London Blue Badge City of London Guide and LBC 97.3FM Broadcaster.
