Powerhouse London – Private Walking Tour

From the omnipotent Roman Empire to our modern world society, London has been and still is a magnet for the mighty and the maker.
Your guide will take you back 2000 years and explore with you, why the Roman Empire chose ‘Londinium’ as their stronghold of their Western border.
Take a stroll through the ‘Priory in the Wild West’ and find out how, where and why the power of the commoners, lords and clergy played ball for the last 800 years.
Learn why the City of London is a power in its own right and how it happened that the East India Company once held more power than the Empress of India.
Discover the Temple, the centre of law and order and learn about the role that the kings and queens of England played in this game of power.
This tour is not suitable for children under 16.

Find out why we have two Houses of Parliament and why they are placed right next to the mightiest Abby of England. Learn all about more hidden buildings within the very square from which Great Britain has been ruled for the last 800 years.

Enjoy one of the most charming views on the Thames. Find out why the headquarter of espionage can be seen in broad daylight and let us show you the real power behind the MI5

See where the most powerful man of the English Church has built his ‘modest’ palace and find out why even the king of England is kneeling to him.

Learn all about the palace that is no more and how its remaining parts are, until today, showcasing the administration, firepower and everlasting traditions of an empire.

Hear the story of a king who was convicted of treason and executed – and why this was even legal.

Walk with us down the street, where kings and queens celebrated their greatest triumphs and mourned their closest members. Find out why every single building on this street is a force in itself.

We are moving on to the power of the people – or should we say: the gentlemen? This is where you will find most of the London Gentlemen Only Clubs – and believe it or not, even here some things actually do change.

To this day it is the official residence of the King. But who built it and why?

Walk with us through the secret world of the Templar and hear all about the church that had sent a king ‘outre mer’.

Take a walk through the square where law and order is ever present and listen to the beautiful story of a business concern that went to war with the Empress of India.

Here you will learn why in London the pen is mightier than the sword and how it happened, that all those powerful newspapers would have been found in one street only.

Hear all about the very first power that shaped this city. Listen to the story of the Roman invaders and how one woman was able to entirely change the future of Londinium in just one day.

There is no power without money. The City of London remains until today, the worldwide epicentre of trade and money. Walk with us through the streets of the London guilds, the empire’s most powerful merchant-barons.

We end our tour in the stunning market, where the ‘suits’ enjoy their after-work lunch or the one or the other drink.
