Discover the hidden layers of London’s past, from ancient Roman ruins to Norman architecture, on this expert-led walking tour.

This tour goes beyond the obvious landmarks, revealing the fascinating history that lies beneath the surface of modern London. Your walk takes you to the medieval church of St. Bartholomew the Great and the historic Newgate, once infamous for its prison. Continue to St. Etheldreda’s, where the crypt and chapel have stood the test of time. Optionally, you can visit the underground Silver Vaults, a hidden gem of Victorian silversmiths.
