About This Tour

Founded by the Romans in 47AD, the City of London has many stories to tell in its nearly 2000 years history. It is no surprise therefore that the City of London has a quite a dark side including murders, ghosts, executions, crime and punishment. If we are lucky, a ghost might even pay us a visit. There will be plenty of opportunities for photos and questions. Food and drink can be purchased in one of the City’s many cafes or pubs. If you wish to join me for one of my themed tours, these are: 1 - City Highlights. Are you curious about the City? Join me to discover the history behind the famous City of London from its foundation under the Romans to the modern day. 2 - Roman London. Discover the stories & ruins from the founders of the City of London. 3 - Great Fires of London. Find out about three devastating fires that have destroyed the City over the last 2000 years.
