London has a fantastic history dating back to Roman times when it was named Londinium. Our tour of the history City of London will uncover the beginnings of the city and how it evolved during its many challenges during over 2, 000 years. Private groups will be personally be guided by me through the area enabling the inquisitive traveller to easily engage with my city's rich culture. We start at London's famous St Paul's Cathedral, which is the fifth version of St Paul's since 604 AD. We take a walk through the narrow streets of the former site of the Blackfriars Dominican Priory and Shakespeare's indoor theatre. We may take a drink at a beautiful Art Nouveau pub before continuing past the notorious Bridewell Prison. Onwards to the site of the first printing press, we then emerge onto Fleet Street, the home of journalistic London. Maybe a quick drink at one of the oldest pub interiors in London before passing Dr Johnson's House and continuing up the the Royal Courts and Lincoln's Inn where we finish.
We will meet outside St Paul's underground station and take a short walk to St Paul's Cathedral. Walking through the narrow lanes south of St Paul's we head to the Blackfriar, a 19th century pub designed in Art Nouveau style. Onwards to the Bridewell, St Bride's Church and where Samuel Pepys was born. We are now on the 'Street of Shame' - Fleet Street, the home of journalism. A visit to Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese is a must when in London and was a popular spot for Dickens, Twain and Conan Doyle. This pub was rebuilt in 1677 following the Great Fire of London. If you can tear yourself away we continue along narrow alleyways past Dr Johnson's house and the site of Sweeney Todd's barber shop. The Olde Bank of England pub is a former bank for the barristers of the Royal Courts of Justice next door. We then walk up to Lincoln's Inn Fields, a former site of public execution. Passing a pub where illegal Catholic masses were held we finish our walk at the Princess Louise, one of London's most spectacular pub interiors
