Discover London through the history of some of its women. A walking tour on The Working Women of the East End walking tour will introduce us to the matchgirls, silk workers and victims of Jack the Ripper. After a visit to the Foundling Museum, where unmarried mothers abandoned their infants for 275 years, we have lunch in a pub before spending the afternoon exploring the British Museum and Bloomsbury, followed by an evening performance of Six, a musical comedy that brings Henry VIII’s lives back to life. We spend a day at Hampton Court Palace, on a private tour of the Tudor palace to learn more about the Tudor monarchs Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth I.
