Dinero y poder en la visita turística de la ciudad
Descripción
Gossipy Tour que explora las personalidades y organizaciones clave que crearon el distrito financiero de Londres. Primero nos enteramos del pasado romano y medieval de la City de Londres. Luego vamos en busca de una organización que una vez fue más grande e importante que los gigantes tecnológicos de hoy, la Compañía de las Indias Orientales e investigamos por qué Gran Bretaña casi ha olvidado que alguna vez existió. También descubrimos la historia de la bolsa y las asociaciones comerciales medievales que hacen de la Ciudad un lugar tan distintivo en la actualidad. Espere escuchar sobre el dinamismo junto con la criminalidad a medida que este recorrido informal y sociable debate cuestiones de poder y dinero a lo largo de los siglos que siguen siendo muy relevantes en la actualidad.

Itinerario
Aquí sobre los inicios romanos y medievales del Distrito Financiero
Vemos la ubicación histórica más importante de la compañía de las Indias Orientales después de haber visto previamente otros sitios vinculados a ella.
Contempla el esplendor neoclásico de Royal Exchange, Bank of England y Mansion House
Vea la ubicación de la cafetería donde se estableció por primera vez el mercado de valores. Exchange Alley o Change Alley es un callejón estrecho que conecta tiendas y cafeterías en un antiguo barrio de la City de Londres. Sirvió como un atajo conveniente desde Royal Exchange en Cornhill hasta la oficina de correos en Lombard Street y sigue siendo uno de los varios callejones que unen las dos calles.
Vea el Guildhall medieval y seleccionado cerca de los edificios del Gremio. Las salas de los gremios medievales se utilizaron para almacenar mercancías y como lugares para eventos de celebración. Cuando no era necesario para los eventos de los miembros del gremio, la sala a menudo se convertía en un lugar donde la gente del pueblo podía celebrar entretenimientos como las obras de Pasión.
Vea el moderno mercado de valores coronado por la gloriosa Catedral de San Pablo. La Catedral de San Pablo es una catedral anglicana en Londres. Como sede del obispo de Londres, la catedral sirve como iglesia madre de la diócesis de Londres. Se encuentra en Ludgate Hill en el punto más alto de la ciudad de Londres y es un edificio catalogado de Grado I.

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.
Thank u for this kind review of Money and Power in the City - i very much enjoyed meeting both of you two!
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!
