Overview
Travel through two thousand years of history, meeting the Romans, William the Conqueror, Christopher Wren, Anne Boleyn's ghost, and Queen Boudica (and hear how she's connected to Harry Potter!)
On our guided walking tour we'll travel across the City of London, the ancient heart of the capital. We'll learn about the City's founding two thousand years ago and where you can still see Roman ruins to this day, its survival through fire and war, the Tower of London's bloody past, the eight-century-old position of Lord Mayor, and the easiest way to tunnel into the Bank of England's vaults!
The guided walking tour begins outside Tower Hill Station exit, ends near to Blackfriars Station, and will take around two hours. Total distance is about two and a half miles.
Ticket sales will be limited to fifteen attendees, to ensure maximum enjoyment for everybody on the tour.
