Geoffrey Chaucer

     Chaucer lived from 1340-1400. Since then, in addition to the ravages of time, London has suffered its Great Fire in 1666 and the Blitz during World War II. Consequently there is not much of London remaining as it was in Chaucer's day.

    There is a marker in an alleyway near the southern end of London Bridge showing where the Tabard once stood and, in Canterbury, there is an exhibition called "Canterbury Tales".

    If you are feeling more creative, parts of the pilgrimage routes to Canterbury are still walkable. You could make your own pilgrimage and ask the participants each to write and recount their own "tale" during the walk,
