City of London Walking Tour

City of London Walking Tour

4
This private tour takes you through the nooks and crannies and grand streets of perhaps the greatest city in the world. Greater London might be 671 Square Miles but comparatively few people visit the City of London which is just 1 square mile. This is the original London. The London of the Romans and those who lived before them. The Vikings, Anglo-Saxons and Normans. Money, finance, big business and science mixed with Great Fires, Plagues. poverty, crime, executions and the Blitz. In this walk we will see almost all of it. The modern skyscrapers, the Roman ruins and everything in between. Leave the Big Bus tours behind; many of the places we go, don't even have roads. This is the real, authentic London with medieval lanes not the busy tourist sites in Westminster. We guarantee you won't have seen this side of London because that's what even Londoners have told us.

Secrets of Spitalfields Private Walking Tour

Secrets of Spitalfields Private Walking Tour

Most people know of this are because of its infamous connection with Jack The Ripper but there is 2,000 years of history here with an incredibly rich history and vibrant culture so join us for this very special tour that will reveal the fantastic heritage of Spitalfields without ever mentioning you-know-who. We will visit Plague Pits and scenes of terrible crimes and events but also of sites of pioneering hospitals, alms houses, soup kitchens and asylums. These days Spitalfields is also incredibly trendy with a unique mix found nowhere else on Earth and we don't even mean the great food and markets. Everywhere in Spitalfields, culture and vibrancy goes hand in hand with history, poverty and misery and we will see the old subterranean Charnel House within a few seconds walk of the wonderful Spitalfields Market. There is no where like Spitalfields and we’re convinced that if you are looking for something totally different then this is the tour for you.
