Overview of your London tour:

In the latter half of the 17th century, one of Britain's most famous architects, Sir Christopher Wren built fifty parish churches and one cathedral in the City of London. The majority of the work took place in just a twenty year period. Why so many churches ? It was because of the great catastrophe that was the great fire of London in 1666 in which 87 churches burnt down. On this guided private walking tour we discover who Wren was and how he came to be chosen for this monumental task. We visit many of the churches that still exist as well as the sites of some that do not. On the way we will learn how Wren's churches came to dominate and define the London skyline. If you would like to book for a group that is bigger than four please contact me.
