Hello, I'm Jenny and I would love to share with you my knowledge and passion for the City of...

This 2000 year old City - also called 'The Square Mile' has suffered many disasters and set backs and has, each time come back better and stronger than ever. Let me tell you of the devastating fire which destroyed 80% of the City and of the man - Sir Christopher Wren - who rebuilt it. We will visit some beautiful places and Monuments - each of which has a darker side to them. The City of London was also a place for punishment and executions - we will explore some of these. Hear of the warring Queens who haunt a ruined monastery, The black shape that haunted the prisoners in Newgate prison Why you weren't safe in the Cities churchyards - and many more tales of the horrors that took place in these seemingly beautiful places. . . .
- We will meet at St Paul's tube station - exit 2 by the Co-Op. - We will explore St Paul's Cross - a place where banned books were burned, sinners were scorned, heretics were damned and punishments were handed out. - Temple Bar - built by Sir Christopher Wren - a beautiful gate in Portland stone - but it also served a darker purpose. - The site of Newgate prison - the blackest hole in London. - The Watch House - a police station which was also there to watch over the graveyard next to it. - Smithfield Market - healing, religion, horses - and execution. - The oldest houses that survived the devastating Great Fire of London. - The ghost of Barts Hospital. - A moving memorial to brave Londoners who lost their lives saving those of another. - Guildhall - a place for famous trials.
