City of London Walking Tour
Overview
This private tour takes you through the nooks and crannies and grand streets of perhaps the greatest city in the world.
Greater London might be 671 Square Miles but comparatively few people visit the City of London which is just 1 square mile. This is the original London. The London of the Romans and those who lived before them. The Vikings, Anglo-Saxons and Normans. Money, finance, big business and science mixed with Great Fires, Plagues. poverty, crime, executions and the Blitz.
In this walk we will see almost all of it. The modern skyscrapers, the Roman ruins and everything in between. Leave the Big Bus tours behind; many of the places we go, don't even have roads. This is the real, authentic London with medieval lanes not the busy tourist sites in Westminster.
We guarantee you won't have seen this side of London because that's what even Londoners have told us.
