By Sami Alouani

This tour traces the footprint of St Giles Hospital, we’ll explore the amazing history of the area, which was one of the worst slums in Britain and where the Great Plague began, and understand what the area stands for presently. We will see a range of impressive landmarks, including a Brutalist Tower, a Palladian Church for Leper’s, an ornate Theatre from the Victorian Era and a secret, colourful courtyard known for its astrologers and alchemists. Sami’s tour is narrated by Brett Harding.
