Jane Austen's 'A Picture of London 1809' Virtual Tour

Bringing history to the public since 1986

And Did Those Feet

With the help of a contemporary London Guide Book, Austen's letters, and works, we explore London in 1809

"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a Jane Austen devotee in possession of the good fortune of a couple of free hours must be in want of this virtual walk." This is a special walk, which came about because of a kind gift of a book - 'The Picture of London for 1809 Being a CORRECT GUIDE to all the Curiosities, Amusements, Exhibitions, Public Establishments, and Remarkable Objects in and near London.'This Guide Book to London might have been on Henry Austen's shelf when his sister, Jane, came to visit him in London. But it enables us to tour the London that Jane Austen knew in some detail. We will look at the Curiosities as well as the shopping, residential, theatres areas as well as the Port, the Parks and the Palaces. The walk is a thank you to Alix Gronau, who, having been to one of my lectures in 1994, wanted the book to come to me. I have had the book restored and am using it to explore London in 1809.This is a <a href="https://www.walks.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">London Walks</a> Guided Walk by Kevin Flude, Museum Curator and Lecturer.
