Dear HEC Alumni,
The HEC UK Art club is delighted to invite you for the second edition of the Walking tour with Muriel Carre, London Blue Badge Guide of the Year 2018. Come and unlock the gory and tumultuous history of Smithfield and Clerkenwell.
Walking Tour @ SMITHFIELD & CLERKENWELL: not for the fainthearted!
Saturday 19th March
From 2 to 4 pm
Meeting point: Just outside Barbican Tube Station (only one exit)
Who would guess that so much blood has been shed on the City’s “smooth fields”? This walk is definitely not for the fainthearted! Come and hear about those who died for what they believed in. You’ll hear of revolts, of blood and guts, insurrections, rebellions and slaughter. Let’s follow our guide Muriel though the alleyways of Smithfield and Clerkenwell in search of this tumultuous and often gory past, and let’s also enjoy the good things of life: stunning architecture, great pubs, secret gardens and so much more.
Practicalities: Warm, waterproof clothes and comfortable shoes are highly recommended. Even a little hipflask with your favourite beverage might be handy!
Price: tickets are 25€ for adults, and a special rate for children is available (12€), please contact christina.keo@hecalumni.fr if you would to purchase tickets for children.
Also, taking into account the COVID situation and weather, the HEC UK Art club reserves the rights to cancel or postpone this event.
About Muriel Carre
Muriel was lucky enough to spend her childhood in Africa with her adventure-seeking parents, and then lived in some of the most exciting cities in the world: Paris, Hong-Kong, Tokyo, Madrid and of course London.
While taking her Master’s degree in art history at Christie’s she acquired a first-hand knowledge of art works. Add to this her long experience as a teacher of English literature and English as a foreign language and you’ll understand why she loves sharing her passion for London and its art, architecture and history.
Muriel is also an award-winning London Blue Badge Tourist Guide and is accredited to guide in English and in French. She loves to walk you round London as if it were an open book where William Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, Oscar Wilde and many others give you a nod at every corner. She is always happiest when she can share her London secrets: a small garden tucked away behind some old brick walls, a grand Georgian town house or the latest street art in London’s East End. Her live or virtual tours can transport you almost anywhere and never fail to make your English experience unforgettable.
