Overview of your London tour:

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. . . .
