About this Event

Led by City of London guide Jonathan Wober of London On The Ground, this circular tour touches on all the main phases of the City's history and key cataclysmic events that have shaped it: the Romans, Saxons, Normans, Reformation, Great Fire, WW2, post war reconstruction and the new types of architecture that have emerged since. Starting and ending at Temple Bar, the route includes St Paul's, St Mary-le-Bow, St Mary Aldermary, Guildhall Yard, Goldsmiths' Hall, Christchurch Greyfriars, Cutlers' Hall and Stationers' Hall.

The tour includes privileged access to the interior of Wren’s Temple Bar.
