Ancient & Modern London: Roman Ruins, Skyscrapers, Hidden Gems, The Blitz & The Great Fire of 1666
Tour description
How did an American billionaire end up buying London Bridge?
Why were the Romans asked to return to ancient Britain — immediately after being kicked out?
And why are there golden pineapples on top of St Paul’s Cathedral?
Find out the answers to these questions — and much more — on my tour of the Old City of London.
The City of London, also called “The City,” is both the oldest part of London — with many of its most important historical sites — and its modern financial centre.
On this tour, we will not follow the traditional route — instead, we’ll visit hidden gems you might never discover, even if you've lived in London all your life. I organise my tours in such a way that, by the end, you’ll know more about London than most locals.
I will take you through London’s 2,000-year history, beginning with its founding by the Romans, continuing through the early history of England and how the country became what it is today, and ending with the dramatic events of World War II.
On my tours, I believe my role is to help you have a great holiday. So even if you’re a local, I’ll be checking in with each of you to offer recommendations or help you navigate the city.
