Two thousand years ago the Romans built the first settlement here, and The City of London has been making history ever since. Saxons and Vikings, Normans, Tudors, the English Civil War, all have left their mark. One of the world’s greatest cities, and the best way to see it is by walking around.
The area inside the original Roman walls which is often known as “The Square Mile” or simply “The City” is the UK’s main centre for business and finance. This is where you’ll find the Bank of England, the Stock Exchange and many of London’s great institutions. It’s a dynamic modern city, with cutting edge architecture being carefully positioned around ancient historical buildings and the churches of Sir Christopher Wren. Around every corner, down every winding alley, is a story or historical character waiting to be discovered. Tales of fire, plague, treachery and death, all have their place here as well as joyful pageantry and eccentric ceremonies.
Your Guide to Walking Tours in the City of London
I trained as a City of London Green Badge Guide because I love to do walking tours. I wanted to share that with other people. The Green Badge is awarded by the Institute of tourist Guiding. I’m also a member of 
the City of London Guide Lecturers Association and lead official City of London tours. These tours run every day and start from the City Information Centre near St Paul’s Cathedral. Not that I’m there every day of course, there’s a rota of City Guides and we all take turns. Read more about me here Mike Daly City of London Guide
