City of London – Historical Tour Tour

We tell the origin story of the ancient City of London, how it was set apart from Westminster, and why it came to be called the financial capital of the world and the envy of kings. Telling the story the eyes of its legends and many peoples, we chart the city's unique history and influence, through Celtic, Romans, Saxons, Vikings, and Normans.
