The City of London Jewish History Walking Tour

On this walking tour, you'll explore Jewish heritage in the City of London from the 11th century right up to the present day. The Square Mile is the oldest part of the capital, and the story of the Jewish community in London starts here. This walk traces the history of Jewish people from their arrival in London at the invitation of William the Conqueror, through the expulsion of 1290 and their return nearly 400 years later. Along the way, you'll hear stories of famous London Jewish characters such as Daniel Mendoza, Moses Montefiore and Paul Reuter, and discover the site of the original Jewish cemetery where the iconic Barbican estate now stands.
