Hello, my name is Barry, a real local, who is an authentic born Londoner and has a lifetime working...
Itinerary not perfect? Message Barry H. to build a tour that’s just right for you.
I go to The Tower for an intimate inside tour. The half day tour follows on to include St Pauls Cathedral, and also to explore local highlights in the proximity of these two magnificent buildings. There is The River Thames, Tower Bridge, both adjacent to The Tower. Walking is pedestrian friendly here but fascinating. Other nearby highlights are The Guildhall and historic business district. It should be noted that St Pauls Cathedral is closed to sightseeing visitors on Sundays as it is a working church. I am happy to substitute another central London highlight instead of St Paul's for any Sunday bookings ( there is no public access on a Sunday except for worship). Visitors may access the interior of the church for Sunday services. Visitors can enter for free on this day when services are due to commence and sit and listen to the sermon and at "evensong" a professional choir frequently sings. Guiding is not allowed inside on Sunday but the guide can describe its history and architecture from the outside
• 9. 00 am meet your hotel lobby • 9. 30 am Tower for entry as close to or before opening time as possible. • 9. 30 11. 00 am Crown Jewels, White Tower Museum, its armour and firearms exhibition. Look closely at the execution and burial site of queens, explore the Bloody Tower, understand what made this castle impregnable and discuss, Beefeaters, Ravens, & famous prisoners down the centuries. • 11. 30 - 13. 00 St Pauls. Part 2 of the tour will transfer to St Pauls Cathedral by foot or public transport, learning about the history of the original Roman City to the present time on the way. Look at the Cathedral history & architecture, including the dome, famous events ( weddings, funerals and burials).

We will use public transport either a Zone 1 "cashless" Oyster Card or your credit/debit card that is useable in a "cashless way". There is a symbol on your card that confirms this capability. I can help with transport advice on the day if necessary to advise on effective and economical purchase of public transport tickets.
