The Tower of London to St Paul's: A City of London Walking Tour
Experience2 hrs

The Tower of London to St Paul's: A City of London Walking Tour

Most visitors to London head straight for Westminster and Big Ben — and walk right past the square mile where the city actually began. This tour is different: it stays in the historic City of London, tracing two thousand years of history in a single compact walk, from a surviving stretch of Roman wall to the dome of St Paul's. What sets it apart is the layering. On one small patch of ground you'll stand where Roman Londinium's forum once buzzed, where medieval traitors lost their heads, where the Great Fire reshaped a city, and where the modern financial world still turns. Your local guide ties it all together — the fortresses and executions, the hidden lanes and the dark secrets — in a small, friendly group that can slip into corners the crowds never reach. What you'll see: Roman wall, Tower Hill Tower of London Tower Bridge London Bridge The Monument Leadenhall Market Royal Exchange Bank of England Mansion House & Guildhall St Paul's Cathedral
