The Great Plague of 1665-66 is the most infamous episode in London's medical history. In his 'Journal of the Plague Year', published in 1722, Daniel Defoe - an archetypal Londoner - memorialised the sufferings of the city he loved. His fictional avatar 'HF' will be your guide as you weave the story of the Great Plague with Defoe's life as satirist, rebel, convict and spy.

With Alice Ford-Smith, Principal Librarian, Dr Williams's Library.

Please note that this walk starts at Tower Hill tube station and ends at Moorgate tube station.

 

This is an adapted version of a walk published in 'Medical London: City of diseases, city of cures'. For more on the book, visit the Medical London website.
