There’s so much more to Walthamstow than just its famous mile-long Market. Its history is not what you might think - although the grand tombs in St Mary’s Churchyard offer a bit of a clue. We start our virtual walk at the teenage home of William Morris which was later home to the plagiarist and publisher who brought us the tale of Sweeney Todd. Using maps and images Joanna will show you to a Greek-style theatre hidden within a school and a remnant from Robert Smirke’s General Post Office, virtually visit the original Walthamstow Village with its Ancient House and tell you how Lord Mayor of London George Monoux was a great benefactor to the area. The tour virtually finishes in 21st century Walthamstow in an industrial park with a difference. This is a live virtual walk hosted via Zoom where your guide will give an illustrated presentation of the walk route with an accompanying talk and opportunities for questions and interaction both during the virtual walk and afterwards.
