Join ghost signs expert Sam Roberts for a leisurely stroll through Bankside, to learn about the area's fading painted signs. Sam will tell the stories of the signs and the companies they advertised, supported by a collection of archival photography and other contextual images.
The Bankside Ghostsigns Walk was originally developed in 2015 for the London Design Festival in collaboration with Better Bankside. Many of the signs on the route are featured alongside over 250 from across the Capital in Sam's book, Ghost Signs: A London Story.
