What to expect

  1. St. Mary Le Bow Church
    5m
    The second ost expensive church to be built in the City after st Pauls Cathedral: the sound of the bells have inspired generations of Londoners, and define what it is to be a cockney. Hear about Sir Christopher Wren's novel utilisation of what was here before that provided a stable foundation for this magnificent church.
  2. Postman's Park
    10m
    A pleasant little churchyard which hides a gruesome secret, and a century ago was an oasis of calm for the workers next door.
  3. St. Paul's Cathedral
    10m · Admission ticket not included
    Sir Christopher Wren's iconic structure that is the heart of the Square Mile. Look closely at its stonework: the story of London can be seen etched into it.
  4. Fleet Street
    Pass by
    Once the home of the country's publishing industry. Former publications such as The Daily Herald, Daily Express and the Daily Telegraph are now only remmebered by beautiful buildings which still line the street. Stories of victimisation, press dominance and power emanate from here!
  5. Old Bailey
    5m
    Home to infaous and legendary court cases: the Old bailey has long been an epicentre of crime and punishment. But why was there a party here most weeks?
  6. Smithfield Market
    5m · Admission ticket not included
    The magnificent structure built by the architect of Towwer Bridge for the City's meat market.
