Press barons, brave journalists, and a foul-mouthed parrot
Explore the street that gave birth to the newspaper trade with an expert guide.
Discover the drinking dens where writers shared the latest gossip (and where women fought for the right to be served at the bar).
Hear tales of the powerful press barons who built media empires, and the courageous journalists who ventured into war zones to bring back the real news.
Meet the man who fought for a free press over 200 years ago, and the pub parrot which entertained celebrity visitors and eventually made its own headlines.
