One of the City of London’s most famous citizens.

Please note: Booking is Essential

There is more to Dick Whittington than the pantomime, so let us turn again and have a look at one of the City of London’s most famous citizens. Was he a poor boy? Did he have a cat? Which bells rang out to tell him he would be Lord Mayor? City of London Guide & Lecturer Jill Finch will be separating fact from fiction, to find the man behind the myth – and she will not be forgetting that cat. Join us to find out more.
