Why choose this London tour ?
You don’t have to go to Rome to see Roman ruins, or even St Albans, Bath or York. Though people were all ready living here, it was the Romans who founded the modern city of Londinium that through the millennia has metamorphosed into today what is possibly the greatest city in the world.
This private walking tour will take you to little visited spots in the heart of the City of London where the remains of Roman buildings can still be found, hidden amongst all the skyscrapers of the 21st century.
Make the most of your London adventure
What makes Roman London Private Walking Tour a unique experience ?
We start off in the shadow of St Pauls Cathedral. There is a reason this beautiful cathedral is here and its much the same reason as why before then, it was home to a temple for the Roman goddess Diana.
A few feet from where we start at St Pauls, the old Roman Temple for the goddess Diana, we find our first Roman remains, hidden away from the street as well as something considerably older!
A stretch of Roman Wall only discovered thanks to the Luftwaffe in WW2.
One of the old Roman gates of London with some wonderfully preserved sections of Roman City Wall nearby.
We will see this wall in several places including where you’d never expect to see Roman ruins.
The beautiful old hall which is central to the ancient City of London Corporation dominates the square but if you look closer we will see the Roman connections.
Under the original Roman streets of London we will stand in the footsteps of Gladiators in the Roman Amphitheatre that was only discovered a few decades ago.
The old official residence of the Lord Mayor of London
The very heart of old Roman London with its majestic and overpowering stone buildings.
Standing in front of this magnificent old building is like being in ancient Rome.
This old Victorian market is built on top of its Roman predecessor and if we are lucky we might get to see a chunk of it where you’d least expect it.
In the shadow of the famous Gherkin, we will find an unexpected Roman memorial.
A beautiful memorial to one of the oldest citizens of London.
The remains of the Roman gate here are buried beneath the newly landscaped park but we can see the route of the wall and other things.
Londons newest museum and with some great Roman Wall and artefacts.
