Trials, Defiance and Difficult People

Starting in the centre of Westminster, on what was once known as Thorny Island, we will move west and north of the Palace of Westminster through a park and wonderfully attractive back streets before returning to Parliament Square to meet some of those immortalised there.

On route we will discover the lives of those who lived here and who came to be remembered here, albeit in their lives they were truly thorns in the side of the establishment.  We meet a journalist who fought the devil. We roll back 700 years and find the men whose despair has been turned into beauty, and 150 years to hear of a woman who could flip a policeman.  

We will walk into the lives of those who lived in conflict with authority and ultimately changed our world.
