Roman London Private Walking Tour

Overview

Available languages

English

Mobile ticket

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.

What To Expect

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.

5 minutes•Admission Not Included

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!

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.
Highly Recommended Roman London Tour !

From the time my guide picked me up in front of my hotel, I felt this was going to be a great tour. Kevin was warm and friendly. During our time together, his knowledge of London from the Roman period onwards was astounding. This tour took us all over old London. He took me down small alleys, and under giant skyscrapers. Talked about ancient, medieval, prewar and post war architecture. All my questions were patiently answered. I recommend this tour to anyone interested in the history of London before the castles were built. This is a little known part of London.
Roman walking tour through London is well worth the time!
