In this talk you will be told some of the most famous stories from London’s history, so sit back and enjoy the foundation legends of London, the dramatic story of Boudicca (she’s the warrior woman in the picture) who rose up against the might of Ancient Rome, the story of Dick Whittington who was told he would become Lord Mayor of London three times and, of course, the epic tale of the Great Fire of London. Grab a hot chocolate, get comfy and listen to some storytelling!
