This lost river walk takes us back into Roman and Medieval London following the course of two lost rivers - the Lorteburn and the Langbourne. The Lorteburn rises in Aldgate and flows down Jewry Street, Crutched Friars, Seething Lane, and Water Lane to the Thames. We visit a new exhibition space created around a wonderful section of the Roman Wall at Vine Street, and also the Roman Wall at Cooper's Row. Along the course of the river we visit St Olave Hart Street and Samuel Pepys Memorial.
