Secret Old London Walking Tour
When
Most Saturday mornings.
Where
Meet outside Barbican Tube. Finishes at the Guildhall Yard between Bank and St Paul’s Cathedral underground stations.
Walking through the ancient streets of London, you’ll learn what lies beneath your feet, from 14th century Black Death victims to a long lost Roman Ampitheatre.
This tour takes you to some of the most atmospheric locations in London, including Smithfield – home to gruesome executions and an extraordinary late Tudor gatehouse – and ancient back streets surrounding the infamous Old Bailey and the beautiful Charterhouse Square.
You’ll be taken within the shell of a church destroyed in the Blitz, and be led into the park which displays one of the most touching memorials to heroic self-sacrifice you could possibly imagine.
The walk lasts 1.5 hours and will leave a lasting impression of a different side to London’s deep and extraordinary history.
