The Journey
Picture of Lucifer
Begin your journey with a contemplation of Lucifer, patron saint of idleness. While some have used wealth for good, this tour delves into stories of centuries past, focusing on lust, greed, and vanity. Prepare to confront tales of extravagance and moral compromise that shaped London's history.
London's First Shopping Mall
Step into London's first shopping mall, a high-end destination that sets the stage for your interactive experience. Reflect on the potential impact of unlimited wealth on one's morals as you explore this space, once a hub of luxury and indulgence.
Exclusive Auction House
Delve into the scandalous past of one of the world's most exclusive auction houses, a witness to countless controversies. Discover the neighborhood where Nell Gwyn, mistress of Charles II, lived and masterfully acquired wealth. Consider if her ambition is admirable or if you find her morals questionable in a world that offered women limited opportunities.
Site of Tudor Love Games
Visit the location where King Henry VIII courted Anne Boleyn five hundred years ago. This site is saturated with history, later centuries were equally filled with scandal. Feel the weight of history as you stand where royal passions and political maneuvers intertwined.
Charles I Execution Site
Walk in the footsteps of Charles I as he journeyed to his execution on a cold January morning in 1649. While some revere him as a Martyr Saint, question whether it is possible to be a saint when one knowingly lies. Ponder the park's complex history, one filled with far less saintly occurrences.
The Old Queen's Haunt
Explore the world of Queen Anne, brought back to life in 'The Favourite', a film depicting a bitter lesbian love triangle. Consider whether this is merely gossipy history or if there are deeper lessons about human nature to be gleaned from these tales of power, passion, and political intrigue.
