Penge og magt i byens sightseeingtur
Beskrivelse
Gossipy Tour, der udforsker de vigtigste personligheder og organisationer, der skabte Londons finansielle distrikt. Vi finder først ud af den romerske og middelalderlige fortid i City of London. Vi går derefter på jagt efter en organisation, der engang var større og vigtigere end nutidens teknologigiganter, East India Company, og undersøger, hvorfor Storbritannien næsten har glemt, at den nogensinde har eksisteret. Vi opdager også aktiemarkedets historie og de middelalderlige handelsforeninger, der gør byen til et så markant sted i dag. Forvent at høre om dynamik sammen med kriminalitet, når denne uformelle omgængelige tur debatterer spørgsmål om magt og penge på tværs af århundreder, som stadig er superrelevante i dag.

Rejseplan
Her om den romerske og middelalderlige begyndelse af finansdistriktet
Vi ser den vigtigste historiske placering af det østindiske selskab, der tidligere har set andre websteder, der er knyttet til det.
Se den neoklassiske pragt af Royal Exchange, Bank of England og Mansion House
Se placeringen af kaffebaren, hvor aktiemarkedet først var baseret. Exchange Alley eller Change Alley er en smal gyde, der forbinder butikker og kaffebarer i et gammelt kvarter i City of London. Det fungerede som en bekvem genvej fra Royal Exchange på Cornhill til postkontoret på Lombard Street og forbliver som en af en række gyder, der forbinder de to gader.
Se den middelalderlige Guildhall og udvalgt i nærheden af Guild-bygninger. Middelalderlige laugssale blev brugt til at opbevare varer og som steder for festlige begivenheder. Når det ikke var nødvendigt til laugmedlemmernes arrangementer, blev hallen ofte et sted, hvor byens borgere kunne holde underholdning såsom passionsspil.
Se det moderne aktiemarked tårnet op af den herlige St Paul's Cathedral. St Paul's Cathedral er en anglikansk katedral i London. Som sæde for biskoppen af London fungerer katedralen som moderkirke for Londons bispedømme. Det sidder på Ludgate Hill på det højeste punkt i City of London og er en fredet bygning.

The best tour walking through London. Terry is telling and talking, sharing his enormous knowledge in a friendly and driven way with interest in us as his audience and is someone you have sympathy for. Can’t be better!
Terry has deep knowledge of the City of London and its financial history that make this tour such an excellent learning experience. He shares stories and facts that are very engaging and make the learning experience very fun. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in the long ago history of London and/or the financial origins and financial developments of London.
Thanks - glad u both enjoyed Power and Money in the City
Terry took us on a stimulating journey through time and space. From the Roman invasion of Britain to the money making machines- empire, kings, queens, god and money explored in this fascinating small corner of London, known as the city. Terry brings a wealth of knowledge, humour and expertise. I strongly recommend this tour and look forward to booking my next exploration of my adopted hometown 🌹🌹🌹

Thank u Kristopher - glad u enjoyed Power and Money in the City
An excellent two hour walking tour around the City. Having worked in London's financial district for some time I was very impressed that Terry took my son and I to plenty of places I didn't know existed. A really informative tour that began with London's creation on the outskirts of the Roman Empire, through the period of the East India Company and then up to the present day. Terry has an infectious interest in his historical subject. Highly recommended. 10/10.

Very knowledgeable. Great foundation to understand early, mid and current London. We had just arrived from the states and found this tour really interesting and it helped us appreciate London even more.
Glad u enjoyed Power and Money in the City Jeremy
Absolutely brilliant experience! The Money and Power in the City sightseeing tour in London exceeded our expectations, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Terry. He brought centuries of financial and political history to life with such clarity, humor, and insight that even those of us without any background knowledge could easily follow along and stay engaged throughout. Terry has a real gift for storytelling—he made complex topics feel tangible and relevant, seamlessly connecting the past to the present. The tour was well-paced, thoughtfully structured, and packed with fascinating facts and anecdotes. It really opened our eyes to the hidden stories behind London’s financial district. Well worth the 2 hours—we highly recommend it to anyone curious about how money and power have shaped the City. Thanks, Terry!
