Freetour for the City of London: South Zone

About the Tour

The tour begins at St Paul's Cathedral, the Anglican Cathedral of London and the largest in the capital. It occupies a very important place in British history for the events that have been held inside, such as the funerals of Winston Churchill or Margaret Tatcher, or the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Di. While we know more details about the organization and structure of the City of London (the former London or Londinium), we will cross the Millenium Bridge, which connects the Bankside area with the City. Then we will go through the Tate Modern modern art gallery, the Globe Theater, a reproduction of the original theater in which William Shakespeare performed his best-known works; and Clink prison, one of the oldest prisons in the city. From the viewpoint we will have stunning views of the skyscrapers of the City and other monuments, such as the London Bridge. We will also know the Southwark Cathedral, the Borough Market, the oldest market in London, and The Shard, the tallest skyscraper in the European Union. The tour ends in City Hall, the London City Hall whose building was designed by Norman Foster. From here we will see two of the most emblematic monuments of London: the Tower Bridge, the most famous bridge in the city, and the Tower of London, where the Crown Jewels are kept, but which is really famous for having been one of the London's most fearsome prisons.
