You don't have to go to Rome to see Roman ruins, or even St Albans, Bath or York. Though people were all ready living here, it was the Romans who founded the modern city of Londinium that through the millennia has metamorphosed into today what is possibly the greatest city in the world.
This private walking tour will take you to little visited spots in the heart of the City of London where the remains of Roman buildings can still be found, hidden amongst all the skyscrapers of the 21st century.

St. Paul's Cathedral
We start off in the shadow of St Pauls Cathedral. There is a reason this beautiful cathedral is here and its much the same reason as why before then, it was home to a temple for the Roman goddess Diana.
The Church of St Vedast Alias Foster
A few feet from where we start at St Pauls, the old Roman Temple for the goddess Diana, we find our first Roman remains, hidden away from the street as well as something considerably older!

Highly recommend Stephen. You’ll learn much more about London on one of his walking tours! He is very knowledgeable about so many subjects and all things Britain.

This was time we'll spent getting to see many things related to Roman and middle ages. Kevin was a wealth of information at every corner. Thank you, Kevin!!

Kevin opened the doorway for me to Roman London. I had downloaded several walking tours from the Internet but decided on Kevin instead. I’m glad I did. He not only took me to all the Roman sites in London but explained them in the context of Roman Londinium. Along the way I got a double dose of London history ranging from Dickens to the Blitz. Kevin is not only knowledgeable but very personable. He’s a really good guy. Take this tour, save yourself a lot of wandering down dead ends, see Londinium in a highly organized manner, and prepare yourself for a fun experience.

Fabulous tour of the largely hidden Roman ruins in London. I had always wanted to discover Roman London, and this tour exceeded my expectations. Worth every farthing !!!! The company owner Stephen was a superb guide !
