Nearly two thousand years old, the City of London has seen it all from riches to catastrophe.
Its stories and enduring curiosities are written indelibly into the present day City, some boldly on show and some hidden away in dark corners. The protagonists range from the powerful to the meek.
On this tour we’ll explore the layers of just a small part of the Square Mile and hear of the triumphs and tribulations of those who have lived and worked here throughout its history.
