Roman London Tour: Thurs & Sun

The original City beneath our feet

What have the Romans ever done for us Londoners? Plenty!

Join our Roman guided tour and let us ‘roam’ around the City and discover a history that dates back nearly 2,000 years. Let one of our qualified City of London Guides reveal the ancient city of Londinium that lies beneath your feet.

  • Learn why the Romans founded the City of Londinium, what they bought - and what they liked to export. 
  • See the site of a Roman bathhouse that’s now a pretty garden
  • Discover a temple to Mithras that was only discovered after bombing in World War Two
  • Take in a view of the original Roman wall that guarded the City 1,800 years ago. 

Please note: children must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
