City of London Walking Tour

Overview

Available languages

English

Mobile ticket

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.

This was an one-of-a-kind experience. Stephen showed me through hidden gardens and courtyards that I would never have been able to find on my own. He gave an amazing overview of 2000 years of history including famous people, literary references, and ordinary life through the ages. Highly recommended.
Great tour and awesome guide

Stephen Liddell is an amazing tour guide. We covered a ton of ground in England and learned all about the history along the way. We look forward to coming back and doing another one of his tours.

This was one of the best walking tours we've ever taken! Roman walls, secret gardens, bombing sites reclaimed by nature, wonderful new buildings framed by the ancients, private odes to unsung heroes, London haunts of those who left to become American icons...these are just the few of the treasures of this magnificent, private and serene walking tour that Stephen Liddell offers in the City of London. Strongly recommended.
Best Thing in London!
