DESCRIPTION:Join us for a unique poetry pilgrimage through the heart of th
 e City of London\, following the footsteps of St Olaf - the Viking warrior
  who became a saint and whose story is woven into London's own history. \n
 \nBeginning at St Olave Hart Street\, we will journey between ancient chur
 ches\, Roman walls\, hidden streets and the Thames\, pausing to hear newly
  commissioned poems\, written especially for this pilgrimage and read by s
 ome of the poets who created them. Each poem will invite us to see the Cit
 y anew.\n\nAmong the highlights are:\n\nSt Olave Hart Street – discover 
 Olaf's extraordinary transformation from warrior to saint\, surrounded by 
 centuries of art\, prayer and healing dedicated to his memory.\nThe Roman 
 Wall and All Hallows by the Tower – stand beside remains that Olaf himse
 lf would have known\, and encounter one of the few surviving Anglo-Saxon d
 oorways from his lifetime.\nLondon Bridge and St Magnus the Martyr – exp
 lore the dramatic story of Olaf's legendary assault on London Bridge\, rem
 embered in saga and tradition for over a thousand years.\nThe lost churche
 s of St Olave – uncover the forgotten stories of St Olave's Old Jewry an
 d St Olave Silver Street\, reminders of how deeply the saint's name was on
 ce woven into London's streets.\nSt Paul's Cathedral – reflect on the en
 durance of Christian witness from the Saxon age to the present in one of t
 he world's great churches.\nAlong the way\, the pilgrimage will explore th
 emes of courage\, conversion\, healing\, kingship\, peace and pilgrimage i
 tself\, connecting scripture\, history and contemporary poetry.\n\nWhether
  you come as a lover of poetry\, history\, London\, or simply in search of
  a reflective afternoon\, this is an opportunity to experience the City in
  a new way and to rediscover the remarkable legacy of England's Viking sai
