Shakespeare’s London - A Walk Through History

Wednesday, April 21st, 2010

Continuing theĀ little tasters of our free London walks we have added an extra video providing you with a brief introduction of Shakespeare’s London. This is just a brief taster of the free Walking tours we are rolling out this year.

Based on the huge success of our Harry Potter Walking Tour we’re going to be providing lots of ways for you to enjoy our free tours of London.

You’ll be able to watch the video’s, listen to them as podcasts, download them as a printable pdf and generally get to see a side of London that is both intriguing and fascinating in equal measure.

We’ve been filming over 50 London walks throughout the winter. But as you will see from the Shakespeare film, these won’t just be walking tours, but will also provide dramatic reconstructions that will transport you back to the times against which each walk is set.

We’ll also be adding out of London jaunts to Bath, Oxford, Stratford, Cambridge, York and Edinburgh.

It’s going to be a great year for those of you who enjoy expoloring London at your own pace and at a time that suits you. So please enjoy our little taster of the Shakespeare Walk.

Haunted Britain - A Most Haunted Journey

Sunday, January 3rd, 2010

Tomorrow Richard will set off on his journey around Haunted Britain. Time, and snow, willing he hopes to cover Oxfordshire, Bucks, Herefordshire and Worcestershire this week and possibly get down as far as Somerset.

He will be chronicling his journey on a daily blog that he hopes to update several times a day with photographs and even videos which, thanks to a new dongle, should in theory be uploaded as and when the photos are done.

You will be able to follow Richard’s tongue in cheek accout of his journey on his blog at Haunted Britain - A Most Haunted Journey .

A week tomorrow Richard will be taking the train to Edinburgh and, in addition to collecting ghostly tales, he will also be presenting a documentary on Sherlock Holmes (or at least on Dr Joseph Bell who part influenced Conan Doyle as he created the character of Sherlock Holmes).

We hope to get a few snippets of this film online in the coming weeks so that you will be able to have a peek at the Edinburgh that inspired Sherlock Holmes.

Incidentally you can have a look at clips from a film that Richard made in 2009 aboutĀ  Haunted London.

In the months ahead we’re going to be providing access to several of your great films on London.

Once back from Edinburgh Richard will be filming a segment on Sherlock Holmes in London which will also go live in late February. So all in all there’s lots of great stuff in the pipeline for 2010.

But, in the meantime, why not follow Richard’s Journey through Britain’s Most Haunted Places by Clicking here?

The intention is to update the blog at least once, hopefully more, times a day so why not become a follower and chart Richard’s progress around this Spectred Isle?
