Hogarth, Harlots, Moll Flanders... you've seen the paintings, watched the TV shows and read the books... now visit the places that London's REAL strumpets called home.
​
Allow your guide, 'The Baroness' to transport you back to the London of three hundred years ago - and into the steamy underworld of the Georgian sex worker.
Meet the women that 'made it', and those that ended up in the gutter; the high class courtesans and the gin-addled street walkers; the business-savvy Brothel Madams and the corrupted country girls. Hear the stories of the women that weren't often given a voice - in a trade that existed to serve men. What was it really like for them, and have we learned the lessons of the past?
Fancy a good time love...?
Eighteenth Century London's sordid and brutal sex industry is dramatically brought to life in this immersive, theatrical walking tour.**
​
​And when your thirst for lewd women, saucy stories and harrowing histories has been well and truly quenched, what better way to finish the experience than with a shot (or four) of 'Mother's Ruin' in a local notorious tavern?
