I had a marvellous time in London. I visited so many things: directly related to my projects and other places of personal interest which also turned out to be very benificial.
An important discovery, was that basing a project on the Shakespeare and Dickens Tour was not a particularly good idea. The tour was very good and very interesting... "so why not" I hear you wondering? The only, but very important, fault in the tour was combining the two writers. Dickens and Shakespeare, although they were both writers based in London, they were also in completely different times, with hundreds of years between them. This large gap created two completely different atmospheres in the tour which meant that one couldn't really get into either as one had to constantly jump between the two very different worlds. I personally believe basing my project on this would be a mistake as I really want to create one atmosphere with my project.
Because of this I have decided to return to my former idea of purely basing my project on Shakespeare's London. The tour was still very benificial for this project, I learnt of new places I hadn't found in my research so that was great. I visited many other Shakespeare related locations in London, both original and modern and I feel a lot more happy with this idea. I shall make the map with the London Tourist Board in mind and will contact them on the completion of my project to see what they think. Whether this is before or after the school exam doesn't bother me too much as I personally just really want to know what they think. Meghan at the Globe has also very kindly agreed to take a look at my map. It turns out she actually knows Elizabeth who is also going to be looking at it :D
