2000 years of London Walking Tour
Seeing 2000 years of London's history within a 90 minute walk around the old City of London is a breathtaking experience.
On this tour we not only show you some of our more famous sites, but also many of the secret locations which showcase London's medieval, roman and modern history.
Your expert guide will navigate you from remains of the roman and medieval wall, through to the 900 year old fortress of the Tower of London and onto a 17th century plague cemetery and to the hidden remains of the original stone London Bridge.
As we move towards the end of the tour, prepare to be amazed by the juxtaposition of ancient and modern in the heart of the financial district. High rise buildings jostle for position with old churches, pubs and market places.
Certainly a tour which requires an expert guide in order to navigate you through the alleyways and courtyards, and to reveal the secret and profound history around each corner.

Stop At: Leadenhall Market, Gracechurch Street, London EC3V 1LR England
We will enter the gorgeous Leadenhall Market, adorned with dragons, shields of St George, and the site of a poultry market for centuries. It feels so magical that it was used in the first Harry Potter movie!

Stop At: St Olave's Church, 8 Hart Street, London EC3R 7NB England
This was the famous diarist Samuel Pepys' parish church, and during the outbreak of the Great Fire of London of 1666 he lived opposite. It is also the resting place of over 300 victims of the Bubonic Plague and has a rather macabre gateway which Charles Dickens described as 'the Gates of Ghastly Grim' !

Stop At: 30 St Mary Axe (The Gherkin), 30 St. Mary Axe, London EC3A 8EP England
Standing in the midst of a forest of iconic skyscrapers in the financial district is an awe inspiring moment.

The most incredible juxtaposition of old and new in the whole of London.
