Discover the hidden City of London on a storytelling walk that weaves together prehistory, myth, money, and modern power. Follow an expert guide through the ancient streets of the Square Mile to uncover lost rivers, dragon guardians, sacred sites, and the financial institutions that shaped the world.
This is a private small‑group walking tour lasting approx 2.5 hours, with three route options. Choose to explore the City’s origin story from Roman Londinium and earlier traces beneath the streets; dive into the history of money and power from ancient temples, medieval markets to global finance; or follow a more mystical path of dragons, symbols, ley‑line lore, and curious corners most Londoners never notice.
The route is adapted to your chosen storyline, and we can fine‑tune it further if you have particular areas of interest.
Along the way you’ll hear rich, carefully researched narratives that connect what you see today with what has been forgotten..
