Overview

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 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 hear about its survival through fire and war, discover where you can still see Roman ruins to this day, hear about the Tower of London's bloody past, and find out 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.

A great way to spend a Saturday

Published on Mar, 2025

I did the Roman ruins to blitz bombings tour with my Wife and a few friends. We have done a few of these but this up there with the best. The tour itself was great but made by our tour guide who made it interesting and fun and happy to answer any questions. It was also done at a nice pace. Thoroughly commended!

Fantastic tour. I very much enjoyed the walking tour. Tom was very articulate and didn't over complicate the historical facts. I liked the fact that he was happy to answer questions. I did get separated from the group at one point due to the crowded streets and Tom was happy to wait till I found the group again. I hope to be going on another tour with Tom this year.
