The glistening stone walls, sweeping steps and towering Dome of St Paul's Cathedral are just part of the fascinating story I have in store for you. Built in the wake of the 1666 Great Fire, Sir Christopher Wren's creation is an enduring inspiration and scene of momentous events - like the wedding of Prince Charles to Lady Diana Spencer and the funeral of Sir Winston Churchill. Crossing the Millennium Foot Bridge takes us to Southwark, historical haunt of 'low-lifes', where bears were baited and the beer flowed as freely as the dastardly deeds. We will admire Sam Wanamaker's recreation of Shakespeare's Globe Theatre; hear tales of torture and despair at the notorious Clink Prison; and marvel at the luxurious Winchester Palace, whose ruins lie just a few feet away. Then it's on to a reconstruction of Sir Francis Drake's glorious Golden Hinde, where sailors subsisted on worm-infested ships' biscuits. Happily, our tour ends with a far tastier lunch - courtesy of world-famous 'foodie-heaven', Borough Market.
