About This Event

Explore London at your own pace Explore the riverside town where Henry VIII built his warships. Start at the oldest railway station in London, find a baroque church fit for Rome, the churchyard where Christopher Marlowe lies after his violent death, the site of the dockyard where Drake was knighted, and the garden a Russian tsar wrecked while learning to build ships.
