From its beginnings in the 17th century as London’s first luxury neighbourhood, wander through its beautiful piazza and the neighbourhood’s narrow winding streets and learn how the fortunes of the area fell and then rose again thanks to the local community.

Explore the growth of London’s theatreland and discover important places and characters in its development, from the theatre where women were first allowed to appear on stage to the actor-manager who introduced a more natural stage acting style.

Discover London’s first professional police force, the Bow Street Runners and enjoy the quirky boutiques and cafes of today.
