About this Event

Join Andy of London City Mouse Tours as he takes you on a walk down the iconic Fleet Street in the City of London. Here you'll learn about how Fleet Street developed from a simple rutted track into the beating heart of the British newspaper industry.

The hot metal printed presses have long fallen silent, or have they?

Learn about the last survivor from the golden age of the newspaper industry; a place where a parrot and an elephant really did walk into a bar; a private bank now in its 12th generation of the same family; a bar that women had to take to the Court of Appeal to allow them to buy a round; and a newspaper building designed to look like a 1930s luxury cruise liner... and much more.
