SUMMARY:Isle of Dogs: Zoom tour with Ed Glinert\, the East End's leading historian
DESCRIPTION:Ed Glinert\, author of Penguin’s East End Chronicles\, hosts this entertaining expert Zoom exploration of the very heart of the old East End.\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Event\n\n\nEd Glinert\, author of Penguin’s East End Chronicles\, the most important 21st century history of the area\,  t on Zoom of the very heart of the old East End of London. \nOur story starts in mediaeval times when the U–shaped peninsula was uninhabited and prone to constant flooding. It remained a lonely place. Samuel Pepys\, journeying to a wedding dressed “in a new coloured silk suit and coat trimmed with gold buttons and gold broad lace round my hands\, very rich and fine” on the 31st of July 1665 was forced to stay here for a few hours when his horse-drawn ferry became stuck in the ebb tide. He captured the predicament in his diary: “So we were fain to stay there\, in the unlucky Isle of Doggs\, in a chill place\, the night cold and wind fresh . . . to our great discontent”. \nWhere does the strange name come from? It had been Stebunhethe (Stepney) Marsh until it acquired a nickname: the Isle of Dogs. Nobody knows how this strange name came about. It may have been a corruption of “Isle of Ducks” or “Isle of Dykes”. It may have referred to real dogs – Henry VIII’s royal hounds – which were kept here. \nNothing much took place here until the dramatic construction of West India Dock at the northern end of the peninsula at the end of the 18th century tore apart the remaining rural features of the Isle. An army of navvies\, bricklayers\, carpenters\, surveyors\, engineers and architects descended on the area\, wiping out the hedgerows and lanes to excavate huge basins for the docks. Forbiddingly high brick walls were formed from the extracted earth and placed around the site to protect it\, implying a mystery within which tantalised visitors and locals for the next hundred and fifty years. It was now the hub of London industry: Planet Vulcan\, a burning smithy of iron and steel powering shipbuilding and engineering. \nMore docks arrived until more than half the landmass was actually water\, huge caverns where tens of thousands of men loaded and unloaded thousands of ships for more than a hundred fifty years\, and much of this geographical system survives even though the docks died decades ago. \nThe modern-day Isle of Dogs couldn’t be more of a contrast. Much of the worst 1960s housing has been replaced by expensive town houses\, the industrial mess has been cleared away\, and the most conspicuous sight are Britain’s tallest estate of skyscrapers at Canary Wharf\, home to Mammon and the media\, a commercial empire of granite and glass\, the shining city of the dream.

SUMMARY:Sherlock Holmes at Christmas - virtual tour
DESCRIPTION:I called on my friend Sherlock Holmes on the 2nd morning after Christmas with the intention of wishing him the compliments of the season…\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat is it?\n\n\nSo begins the classic Conan Doyle 1892 Christmas short story mystery “The Blue Carbuncle”. \nSet in central London and the West End\, we find Holmes and Watson tearing around the capital in search of a priceless gem stolen from the hotel suite of the Countess of Morcar.

SUMMARY:Charles Dickens at Christmas virtual tour
DESCRIPTION:What it is\nZoom tour: Saturday 26 December 2020\, 11am. Cost: £7.50. \nJoin leading London historian Ed Glinert\, author of Penguin’s Literary Guide to London\, cruise ships speaker and one of the most prolific tour guides in the country\, on this original festive Zoom tour-talk around the great author’s London haunts. \nEd Glinert writes: “I have devised this tour so that the public can share my enthusiasm for London’s greatest author\, whose works I constantly read and whose sojourns around the capital I have detailed in various books\, such as Penguin’s Literary Guide to London and Penguin’s London Compendium. \nI am now running New London Walks to offer residents of and visitors to the world’s greatest city new and exciting insights into its remarkable history. In view of the current restrictions\, I have devised this Zoom version of the walking tour we did last Boxing Day in which we explore Charles Dickens’s dillies and dallies around Bloomsbury\, Covent Garden and Strand\, starting at the site of the abominable Blacking Factory by the Thames where he worked as a child and ending at his Doughty Street repos\, now the Dickens Museum. This format means we can cover so much more ground than possible on a normal walking tour…the schlep to Doughty Street would defeat even Sydney Carton wandering\, stalking\, drifting or creeping through the streets! \nWhere we go\n\nLincoln’s Inn Hall\, where the Lord High Chancellor sites at the very heart of the fog.\nThe Old Curiosity Shop on Portsmouth Street\, near Lincoln’s Inn Fields.\nWarren’s Blacking Factory on Hungerford Stairs\, “a crazy\, tumble-down old house\, abutting the river\, literally overrun with rats” (okay\, it’s gone now)\, where in 1823 Dickens\, aged 12\, earned the princely sum of six shillings a week pasting labels on jars of shoe polish.\nThe Gin shops of Drury Lane as featured in Sketches By Boz.\nBow Street magistrates’ Court where the Artful Dodger demanded his “priwileges”.\n48 Doughty Street\, Bloomsbury where Dickens lived and completed Oliver Twist\, and wrote Nicholas Nickleby\, and which is now the Charles Dickens Museum.\n\n…and much much more  \nAnd why \nDickens IS Christmas. \nWithout London’s greatest author we would have no ghosts of Christmas past\, no Christmas presents\, no Christmas cards\, no Christmas tree. Oh\, all right\, we might have had some of those\, but we definitely wouldn’t have had this tasty Turkey-time morsel from A Christmas Carol. \n“No fog\, no mist; clear\, bright jovial\, stirring\, cold; cold\, piping for the blood to dance to; Golden sunlight; Heavenly sky; sweet fresh air; merry bells. Oh\, glorious! Glorious!” \nEd Glinert\, author of Penguin’s Literary Guide to London\, leaves Scrooge to freeze with his humbug to lead this festive tour around Charles Dickens’s central London haunts\, from Lincoln’s Inn (where at the very heart of the fog\, sits the Lord High Chancellor) to Covent Garden and beyond. \n How do I book?\nThis tour is available to book through Eventbrite \n

SUMMARY:Samuel Pepys Christmas Morning 1660 Virtual Tour
DESCRIPTION:Join leading London historian Ed Glinert\, author of Penguin’s London Compendium\, cruise ships speaker\, and one of the most prolific tour guides in the country\, on this festive Zoom tour-talk he invented around the great diarist’s London haunts. \nEd Glinert writes: “I devised this tour in 2004 and ran it for several years for the London Walks company. I am now running New London Walks to offer residents of and visitors to the world’s greatest city new and exciting insights into its remarkable history. In view of the current restrictions\, I have devised this original Zoom version\, which means we can cover the entire sweep of the capital – all Pepys’s haunts\, from Downing Street to the Tower – that we could never get to without walking all day!” \nWhere we go\n\n10 Downing Street – Long before the PM’s house was built Samuel Pepys lived here on what was Axe Yard and was where he began his diary on the 1st of January 1660.\nBanqueting House\, Whitehall – Where the 15-year-old Pepys claimed he was in the crowd that saw Charles I being executed in 1649. Sure\, and he probably saw the Sex Pistols at the Lesser Free Trade Hall as well.\nSalisbury Court\, off Fleet Street – Where Pepys was born in 1632 or 1633\, depending on how you view the calendar\, and where in 1658 he underwent a simple operation for kidney stones – without anaesthetic – by eating a supper of fresh meat\, chicken\, pigeon\, eggs\, butter\, barley and water-gruel\, and drinking a mixture of almond\, cucumber and melon: the classic 17th century smoothie.\n8 Drury Lane – Here during the Plague in June 1665 Pepys saw “two or three houses marked with a red cross upon the doors and ‘Lord have mercy upon us’ writ there”. Aren’t you pleased you live at a time when such epidemics have disappeared?\nThe church of All Hallows Barking by the Tower At the start of the Fire of London in September 1666 Pepys climbed the steeple to see “the saddest sight of desolation that I ever saw; every where great fires\, oyle-cellars and brimstone\, and other things burning”.\nThe Tower of London – At the height of his career in 1679\, serving Charles II\, Pepys was falsely accused of treason and imprisoned in the Tower. There was a plot against him\, eagerly taken up by his Whig enemies.\n\nAnd why\nIt’s 1660\, not 2020. Christmas has been banned by the Puritan government\, not by Boris Johnson. \n“All persons are to take heed and remember that Christmas Day and all other superstitious festivals are utterly abolished.” \nIt wasn’t a nasty virus or the Great Plague\, which was five years off\, that saw this dastardly decree\, but the Cromwell puritan clan who deemed Christmas to be both pagan and Popish – unchristian. Well\, at least there was some common sense in London. Earlier that year\, on the 1st of January no less\, a teller in the Exchequer under George Downing began writing a diary. \n“Blessed be God\, at the end of the last year I was in very good health\, without any sense of my old pain\, but upon taking of cold.” \nIt was a private secret diary\, not for public consumption\, because he was just a minor civil servant called Samuel Pepys. Yet by accident Samuel Pepys’s diary saw the light of day many years later to become the best\, the funniest\, the sharpest and most human account of that turbulent period of English history. A million words recording the era that saw the short-lived post-monarchy commonwealth of the Cromwells replaced by the restoration of the throne. It was the time of the Great Plague\, the Fire of London and the threat of Dutch invasion – and Pepys was right in the middle of it as he rose through the ranks to become MP for Harwich\, president of the Royal Society\, and chief secretary to the Admiralty while remaining a high-living philanderer and bon vivant. \nHow do I book?\nThis tour is available through Eventbrite \n*** \nEd Glinert* Manchester tour guide & historian\, www.newmanchesterwalks.com* Penguin author* 32 years experience as a journalist (founder City Life\, production editor Mojo\, 10 years with Private Eye)
