Drink, Death & Debauchery

Foundling Museum · 40 Brunswick Square, London WC1N 1AZ

£25 (£20 reduced)

A guided walk through the gin-soaked streets of Georgian St Giles, tracing gallows, plague pits and the debauchery behind Hogarth's Gin Lane. Penny gin bred no small amount of sin, and this walk makes no attempt to prettify it, ending with a stiff drink at a 1720s pub that's outlasted every scandal it has seen.
