Walk through the heart of London's Financial district - history, scandals, ups and downs - from the Romans to Bloomberg

We'll be starting at Aldgate Station and follow the trail of goods coming in from the docks. In their trail we see the landmark institutions left in the wake - Insurance buildings, Re Insurance, Banks, old Coffee houses, reminders of the East India company, Roman ruins, the Lloyds Building, Royal Exchange, Bank of England and winding medieval alleyways. We will look at sights which I cover in more detail in my book available on Amazon "Key tourist sights of interest in the City of London". I worked for many years in the City of London in amongst others, the iconic Gherkin building. I'll share with you my insider stories about living, working and having fun in the city. We will have lots of time for refreshments in the restaurants, cafes, bars and pubs on our route
