What to expect
Marx Memorial Library
On the 50th anniversary of Marx's death in 1933, a library of socialist works was opened at the Marx Memorial Library. You can visit the library most afternoons. Inside is a mural showing workers trampling on capitalists in the City of London.
St James's Church
St James Church was built on the former site of the St Mary nunnery, in 1792. The tall steeple was used by local clockmakers to set the time, by looking over London to Greenwich.
The Museum of the Order of St John
The Museum of the Order of St John displays memorabilia from the original order of Knights, and objects connected with the later history of the building.
Smithfield Market
The Smithfield Market building was designed by Horace Jones. He was the City architect, and his most famous structure is Tower Bridge. The market's purple and green colour scheme used new chemical paints invented by the Victorians.
Church of St. Bartholomew the Great
St Bartholomew the Great was founded in 1123 by Rahere, an Augustinian monk. While on a pilgrimage to Rome, Rahere fell ill and in his delirium he saw a vision of St Bartholomew.
Old Bailey
The Old Bailey is England's Central Criminal Court. The building was constructed in 1907 on the site of Newgate Prison. Many famous trials have taken place here, including Oscar Wilde and Peter Sutcliffe, known as the Yorkshire Ripper.
