Golden Boy of Pye CornerThis quaint memorial commemorates where the Great Fire of London was extinguished. Learn the story of its design and see some of the actual houses that lay witness to the Great Plague and Great Fire of London.... what a time to be alive!

Underground stations don't often appear as an attraction on tours but this one has a grisly connection with the Great Plague. Try not to think about it too much as we get the tube here!

Aldgate SquareDaniel Defore writes memorably about the plague pit that lies beneath. There is plenty of other plague related bits around here and if that's to enough, one of Jack The Rippers victims was killed a few yards away.

Almost an institution in London but obviously as it has a special place in this tour, it can't be for good reasons.
