Katie Wignall again conducted a fabulous virtual walk, focusing on "Naughty Bankside".
Our tour took in the sinful pleasures that abounded in Bankside in earlier times. It became an area where activities, which were suppressed in the City, could flourish openly. Thus, gaming houses, theatres, baiting pits and brothels abounded and we heard about a great many of them.
Again, Steven Morson has written a wonderful report that will be published in the Freeman 2021

""The Guild was formed in 1908 for all fellow Freemen of the City of London – today we number almost 1,500 members from all backgrounds, and from a wide range of professions. In addition, our Annual Programme is the City’s most extensive. It features events with privileged access for Members and their guests, ranging from opportunities to dine in London’s finest Livery Halls, to less formal activities. Our Annual Banquet is a highlight of the Guild’s calendar and attracts members from all over the world.
