Discover hidden histories and secret gems
in London's ancient heart...
The City of London. It's where the capital's history began - two thousand years ago. Join a 90-minute walking tour with qualified City guide Alison Turner to hear some of the often unexpected stories from the historic 'square mile'. We'll explores its famous and less well-known corners - from the blood and stench of the Roman amphitheatre, through the plague-riddled alleyways of the Medieval era into the Age of Enlightenment, right up to the Blitzed churches of World War Two. We might meet merchants and alewives, Georgian bodysnatchers, literary giants like Shakespeare and Pepys, or admire unexpected green corners beneath Wren's magnificent spires.
Walks run around once a month: please sign up below for updates

ABOUT ME: I'm your friendly guide on a journey into the City of London's many-faceted past. I aim to share my love of its extraordinary history, and leave you with a smile on your face. My passion for the past started as a child, when my dad used to drag me up ruined Norman towers and down into World War Two bunkers. I must have inherited his enthusiasm because I went on to make scores of history documentaries for the BBC and Channel Four, before qualifying as a City of London guide. I look forward to meeting you! Alison Turner, London History Walks |
