It’s an intriguing fact that England’s greatest playwright and her greatest novelist both drew a huge amount of inspiration from the relatively compact district that we explore on this enchanting tour. Indeed, the old streets, narrow alleyways and hidden riverside pathways that are featured on this walk loomed large in the lives and works of both William Shakespeare and Charles Dickens.
