Embark on a journey through time as you traverse the ancient City of London with an expert guide. Uncover the mysteries of the 'Square Mile', from the entertainment spots of the Romans to the peculiar golden grasshopper atop the Royal Exchange. Delve into the enigma of the Silent Ceremony and discover which London bridge was dramatically destroyed in a Harry Potter film.

Your adventure begins at Cannon Street Station, leading you past Roman London’s Mithraeum towards the historic Bank of England and Mansion House. Here, you'll uncover the story of the Great Fire of London in 1666, a pivotal event in the city's history, marked by The Monument - still the world's tallest self-supportive column. Your journey continues to the Victorian masterpiece, Leadenhall Market, a shopping destination even for Harry Potter himself. As your exploration progresses, you'll find yourself amidst some of the world's most innovative architecture in London's financial hub, including the revolutionary Lloyd’s of London building. These structures bear quirky nicknames such as the Gherkin, Walkie-Talkie, Cheesegrater, and Scalpel.

The tour concludes with a spectacular view of one of London's most iconic sights: Tower Bridge alongside the thousand-year-old Tower of London, notorious for its bloody history. The itinerary is flexible to accommodate your interests and requirements, including meeting at a convenient location beforehand.
