The City of London - London's birthplace (Half day)

London
4 hours

The City of London is where the story of the UK's capital truly begins. Founded by the Romans after they settled in 43 AD, a walk through the City means you are passing through almost 2,000 years of history. Trade and commerce continue to define the district but amidst the modern hi-tech 21st century citadels of financial services are testaments to the past - notably The Tower of London & the magnificent St Paul's Cathedral with it's special & moving monument to Americans servicemen of WWII.

The City of London: Hidden and visible history

London
3 hours

The City of London refers to a tiny part of this large metropolis, which is a financial centre and a historical core of it. Although it looks like the most modern part of London with a cluster of skyscrapers, it hides 2000 years of history, peculiar ceremonies and a key to London's success and the power of the British economy. From St Paul's Cathedral - an architectural wonder and a symbol of London's resilience through windy streets of the City to the Tower of London - formidable fortress.

The Tower of London, is home to the Crown Jewels (the coronation regalia used for state ceremonial occasions, including the 530 carat '1st Star of Africa'). The Tower is the site of imprisonment and executions - including three queens of England and houses a remarkable collection of medieval armour. Together with its many dark tales, The Tower is guarded over by a military detachment and the mysterious ravens, all under the watchful eyes of the Yeoman Warders (the famous Beefeaters).

Tudor London: not just Henry VIIIth (2 hrs)

London
2 hours

The "big" Tudor monarchs loom large in the popular imagination: especially Henry (all those wives!) and Elizabeth. The story of London under the Tudors is less well-known but fascinating. Massive population, huge growth in manufacturing and retail, explosion of popular literacy and printing, highly dangerous religious rifts: all fuelled by an enormous giveaway of city property at the Dissolution of the Monasteries. This walk will bring all this to life.
