A curious wander through the City of London
On this entertaining, enlightening, and fascinating tour, follow your expert guide. If you know where to look, the past still communicates its secrets concealed within a city that is two-thousand years old.
Ever wonder why we say ‘at sixes and sevens?
What are those badges on the lamps outside the Royal Exchange?
Why are there no roads in the City of London?
Yet these streets have such curious names: Love Lane anybody? We'll discover clues to the City’s past in strange marks and curious symbols along the environs of Cheapside (why Cheap?), keeping an eye out for honeybees, demi -maidens and sunbursts. And so much more.
Please note: children must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
Our daily walks run from the City Information Centre, just south of St Paul's. You need to book via Eventbrite to secure you place. Note: the cut-off time for booking our daily walks is 21:00hrs the night before. If we don't have any bookings then the walk will not take place.
Our weekly walks have individual booking pages and earlier cut-off times, please see the individual listing.
