Shardlake's City
C.J Sansom introduces us to his wonderful 'hunchback' lawyer-detective, Matthew Shardlake, in his series of 5 (soon to be 6!) novels. This 2 hour walk starts at Matthew Shardlake's house; we will walk down the street where Guy lived, see where Chancery died at the hands of the evil Richard Rich. Past Taverns where Barak most likely tumbled out drunk. We will not only see, but also smell the London that Shardlake knew.
