Overview
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 more on my tour of the Old City of London.
The City of London, also called “The City”, is not just the oldest part of London with most of the important historical sites, but also its financial centre.
We will not follow the traditional tour route, but we will be going to the hidden gems that you would never know about, even if you have lived in London all your life. I organise my tours in such a way that by the end, you will know more about London than most locals.
I will take you through London’s 2000-year history, beginning at the start of our Tour with its founding by the Romans, through to the early history of England and how the country became what it is today, ending with some history of WW2.
I have the philosophy that I am here to help you have a great holiday. So even if you are a local who lives here, I’ll be asking you each if you want any recommendations for London or need help navigating the city.
