Travel through two thousand years of history, meeting Romans, kings, Charles Dickens, 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 City's oldest pub, 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.

I would thoroughly recommend this tour. Booked for myself and my two teen sons because one of them is very into history.
The tour was engaging for all ages and covered a good number of sights in the area.
The weather was wet which was unfortunate but we still enjoyed the experience.

I know London and The City (Square Mile) in particular, but I learnt a phenomenal amount from Tom in the hour or so that the tour lasted; all of which was delivered in a thoroughly entertaining way.

Tom took us on an amazing ~2 hour wander through the history of the City of London. He’s an exceptional and entertaining teacher. While I’m quite familiar with the area, I learned a ton of new facts and interesting bits of lore on the walk. Highly recommend his tours as a way to deep dive into London!
