Looking at the city today, it would seem that the London of between 1066-1485 has completely disappeared. However, if you look closely, you can still find evocative reminders across the capital.

From churches to palaces, stones and plaques to even models, join Blue Badge Guide Katie Wignall on this online walk to trace the remains of Medieval London - using high definition video, images and live commentary. We'll be on the hunt for the surviving buildings and entertaining reminders of a bygone age. What is left to visit today from that period - and what does this tells us about life for Medieval Londoners?

Proceeds from ARTscapades ticket sales benefit museums, galleries and other arts-based organisations and projects.
