Beskrivelse
Oplev de skjulte historier, usædvanlige genstande og let mistede detaljer i London på denne guidede vandretur gennem den historiske Square Mile.
Vi starter ved siden af St Paul's Cathedral og slutter på Bank, og vi vil udforske mere end 2.000 års historie i London - fra romerske rester og middelalderlige gader til den store brand, Blitz, livery virksomheder og de mærkelige traditioner, der stadig forme byen i dag.
Undervejs vil vi opdage historierne bag gyldne ananas, romerske gulve, gamle artefakter, hesteformede bollards, usædvanlige gadenavne, bombarderede kirker, historiske pubber, våben og nogle af de mindste detaljer, der gemmer sig i det blotte syn.
Dette er ikke en tur af datoer og berømte bygninger. Det handler om at kigge lidt nærmere på byen og opdage, hvordan tilsyneladende almindelige genstande kan afsløre meget større historier.
Turen ledes af Alex, en kvalificeret City of London Green Badge Vejleder og skaberen af Untold London.

Rejseplan
St. Paul's Cathedral
15 min
Begynd ved siden af St Paul's Cathedral, hvor vi vil afsløre nogle af de mindre kendte historier gemt i en af Londons mest berømte vartegn - fra katedralen, der stod her før den store brand til Wren's Phoenix, gyldne ananas og genopbygningen af byen.
Vi går ikke ind i katedralen.
St Mary Aldermanbury Garden
10 min
Udforsk de atmosfæriske ruiner af St Mary Aldermanbury, en Wren kirke, der blev ødelagt i Blitz og senere demonteret sten for sten og genopbygget 4.000 miles væk i Missouri som et mindesmærke for Winston Churchill.
London Wall
Kør forbi
Se overlevende dele af Londons gamle romerske mur og opdag, hvordan befæstningerne formede byen i århundreder, hvilket efterlod spor, der stadig er synlige blandt de moderne gader.
10 min
Oplev de overlevende ruiner af Elsyng Hospital, et middelalderligt hospital, der blev grundlagt for at pleje fattige og blinde londonere, og hør, hvordan stedet overlevede pest, brand, krig og århundreder af genopbygning.
Guildhall
10 min
Udforsk Guildhall Yard, det historiske hjertet af London, hvor middelalderlig arkitektur, borgerlige traditioner og resterne af et romersk amfiteater alle sidder i samme bemærkelsesværdige torv.
Mansion House of City of London
10 min
Se Mansion House, den officielle bopæl for Lord Mayor of London, og afsløre den usædvanlige historie om, hvordan denne store bygning fra det 18. århundrede blev finansieret - sammen med dens rolle i byens borgerlige liv i dag.

Amazing tour
We had such a lovely time on this tour! Alex was a fantastic guide, really knowledgeable, friendly and happy to answer all our questions. There were 9 of us on the tour, which made such a difference. It felt much more personal and relaxed than being part of a big group. Alex made sure everyone felt included and had the chance to ask questions if we had any. We learned so much, and you can clearly sense the passion and the amount of work that is behind this tour. The value for money was exceptional, and we really enjoyed the whole experience. I’m hopeing Alex will add some more tours, because I’d definitely love to do another one 😊

Interesting and enjoyable tour
I really enjoyed this tour. The guide has a very pleasant voice and is very easy to listen to. English isn’t my first language, but I had no trouble following him at all. It wasn’t just a dry list of facts and dates – the stories were told in an interesting and entertaining way, which made the tour really enjoyable. I would definitely recommend it.

Lots of interesting facts with a great guide
My friend and I have lived in London for 30 years and have also worked in the City so I have to admit we were a bit sceptical about how ‘hidden’ the stories would be. We could not have been more wrong. Alex was very personable and knowledgeable; he pitched the tour at the right level, and had so many interesting things to share. The two hours went by in a flash and we really learnt a lot. Highly recommended for both Londoners and tourists alike.

Incredible
It was one of the best things I could have picked for a Saturday. Alex was knowledgeable and engaging. He took us on a walk that on any other day would have just been a regular stroll but is now become really meaningful. Would definitely recommend for other city dwellers and travelers.

Great way to spend 2 hours!
My company wanted to impress a client outside of our normal repertoire of pubs and restaurants. We were recommended Alexs´ tour and it did not disappoint. We learnt about a side of the City which was surprising to say the least. Alex was really engaging and accommodating to the whole group. Id recommend this for friends or family as well as work.
