Come and explore the 18th century London of the writer, critic and lexicographer, Dr Samuel Johnson. Although he was born and brought up in Lichfield, Samuel Johnson spent most of his adult life in the City of London where he came to dominate the 18th century literary world, which was growing up around the established Fleet Street offices of numerous publishers and printers.
Johnson produced a large number of works of many different kinds but is best known for his Dictionary of the English Language published in 1755. This walk concentrates on the life and works of Dr. Johnson, the people he knew and what the City of London was like at the time.
Our Samuel Johnson walk takes place on the first Saturday and the third Friday of each month. All start at 2pm.
Walks start and finish outside Dr Johnson's House in Gough Square where Johnson compiled his famous Dictionary.
£15 tickets are available via Eventbrite. Booking is not essential, however. Please bring cash for tickets not purchased in advance. We meet outside the house five minutes before the walk commences.
