This is an amazing and completely unique tour where you'll be encouraged to notice the small details hidden along the alleyways and courtyards of the ancient city of London.

Your expert guide will take you to some of the more atmospheric locations in London, where you'll discover old pubs and even older churches, market places and medieval and even roman remains.

We don't want to reveal all the secrets to be found on this walk, but just as a taster, you'll find the location of the first coffee house in London, the remains of the medieval London Bridge, a piece of Victorian street art and the shell of a church destroyed during the Blitz.
