Tour description
Faith, Fog and Fire: A London Layers Walk
Explore London’s winter mysteries in the heart of the old city…
Check our history content on Instagram and Tiktok @LondonLayers for more of a taster!
Come and explore the stories behind great London monuments and hidden spots most Londoners don't know! Walk through the City of London’s narrow lanes and hidden courtyards to uncover stories of faith, fog and fire - the tales that shaped London
I've really made an effort to create a theme for this tour which brings the streets of London to life. It will be immersive and experiential so to give a very different experience compared with visiting museums.
This 90-minute walking tour will lead you through centuries of mystery and intrigue, from churches that sheltered frostbitten citizens to markets that thrived in the chill. Lots of hidden corners and fascinating stories along the way as Londoners navigated winter and its festivities.
📍 Starting point: Outside St Paul’s Cathedral
⏰ Duration: Around 90 minutes
👣 Accessibility: Step-free route available on request
☔ Runs in all weathers — please dress warmly!
Whether you’re a London local or seeing the city through fresh eyes, this walk will show you the City’s history through a winter lens.
