Sinners, Saints and Saviours of Southwark

Join your local Roman Whore Guide Lydia Clamydia who left her slumber in the spirit world to guide you to the darkest corners of Southwark.
As she guides you through the backstreets of Southwark along River Themes, she will tell you long-forgotten stories of women who once haunted those streets (either as a living or a spirit).
If you listen closely, you can still hear their voices echoing on the brick walls of the surrounding buildings and on the wet stones of the pavement underneath your feet.

Delve deep into the dark history of the capital and listen to – sometimes cheeky and juicy – stories of forgotten women who once lived in the area and have shaped London’s history.
Along your journey, you will meet a Pagan Goddess who inspired orgies, a very unfortunate nun, supernatural entities and spirits that cursed men.

You will also meet the mysterious Rat Queen who once lived in the sewer drainage and the ‘Winchester Goose’ who seduced men (you’re safe ladies, don’t worry. Phiew!)
You will learn about a cemetery near London Bridge Station where hundreds of sex workers were buried, and it was discovered by TFL during the construction of Jubilee Line in the 1990s.
Join Lydia Clamydia for a Tipple at a Local Pub
