This tour around Smithfield, Charterhouse Square, St Bartholomew’s Hospital and the Barbican is a walk from twilight into night, moving between noise, lights and bustle, and quiet and darkness. Along the way, we'll take in markets, churches, hospitals and housing, and see how some of these places shift and change over the course of just a few hours.
We'll uncover how this part of London has been shaped from the 1100s to the late 20th century — exploring some of its oldest corners in the shadow of some of the city's newest buildings. And we'll look to the future too, considering what might be about to change, and what some of these places could feel like in a few years' time.
This is a chance to experience London at night in the company of a group — to slow down, and to see a familiar part of the city in a completely different light.
