Overview

The oldest neighbourhood in London, the Square Mile survived both the Great Fire and the Blitz to become a global financial powerhouse today. It's home to an iconic cathedral, soaring skyscrapers and ancient Roman remains, all packed into one square mile. And did you know that it has its own unique system of government too? The City of London is like nowhere else in the world, and this tour is the perfect introduction. We'll wander down alleyways, stroll medieval streets, and look up at gleaming new towers. You can step back in time at London's oldest church, visit a magical movie location, and take a selfie or two in atmospheric ruins.

Great tour!

Published on Feb, 2025

I've learnt a lot as a Londoner! I always associated the City as a place to work and never paid much attention to its secret gardens and squares, let alone its history. It's a great tour if you wan to learn more about London as a visitor or a local!

Where Roman and Saxon ruins meet secret gardens and dragons

Published on Dec, 2024

I can fully recommend this guided tour booked through Kodama Travel, which gives you a great insight into the square mile which is now the financial headquarters of London. It is full of surprises, starts off with Roman and Saxon remains, then takes you down streets where old architecture mixes with new, and suddenly you are in the grounds of a beautiful garden, which is in fact a ruined church, hidden from the view of the street - it certainly has this secret feel about it. Along the tour, which lasts 1.5 hours, you are taken through an urban experience with reference to both history, architecture, authors like Dickens and places featured in films like the 1001 Dalmatians and Harry Potter. One of my favourite bits was when our guide Suzanne showed us the Leadenhall Market, previously a poultry market right back from the 14th century, now a beautiful, covered Victorian looking arcade. Apart from the history and funny stories surrounding it, its other attraction was a beautiful lit up Christmas Tree in the middle surrounded by pillars with dragons on the top - there was a good handful of dragons, radiating strength and magnificence. A powerful image of London which also happens to have dragons on its coat of arms. It made my day, and Suzanne was a brilliant tour guide making sure the tour was fun, informative and interesting at the same time. All in all the full experience was a treat, the booking via Kodama Travel was easy and I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to know a little bit more about London and likes to be surprised too. Tips - if you go in the winter months, wrap up warmly and bring hat, scarf and gloves just in case.

Discovering the essence of the square mile

Published on Dec, 2024

This was really fun to do. The tour was so interesting, and we found about the hidden stories of the square mile - thankyou! I'd recommend this as a discovery tour - I never knew so much was squeezed into this small ancient part of the city.
