Explore the fascinating contrast between ancient and modern on this walking tour through the historic heart of London. From Roman ruins to towering financial skyscrapers, this journey through Londinium reveals how the city has evolved over nearly two millennia.
Few cities in the world display such a unique blend of past and present as London. As we walk through its streets, you'll learn about the city's transformation from its Roman origins in the 1st century to its present role as a global financial capital.
We'll visit iconic landmarks such as the Tower of London, one of the best-preserved castles in the world, and St Paul’s Cathedral with its impressive 111-meter dome. You'll also discover the famous “golden mile,” home to major financial institutions like the Bank of England and the historic London Stock Exchange.
The tour takes you through charming medieval corners, including the Temple Church, hidden alleyways, a traditional market in the heart of the City, and even the church that inspired the modern wedding cake. Alongside these, you'll see the contemporary skyscrapers shaping London’s skyline: the Walkie-Talkie, the Gherkin, and Lloyds building.
We’ll begin at the designated meeting point and end the tour at the Temple Church, just a short walk from Temple and Chancery Lane Underground stations. A perfect experience for those who want to dive into the city's layers of history and see how time has shaped its streets.
