Description

Le quartier le plus ancien de Londres, le Square Mile, a survécu au Grand Incendie et au Blitz pour devenir aujourd'hui une puissance financière mondiale. Il abrite une cathédrale emblématique, des gratte-ciel vertigineux et d'anciens vestiges romains, le tout regroupé sur un kilomètre carré. Et saviez-vous qu’il possède également son propre système de gouvernement ? La City de Londres ne ressemble à aucun autre endroit au monde et cette visite est une introduction parfaite. Nous nous promènerons dans les ruelles, flânerons dans les rues médiévales et admirerons les nouvelles tours étincelantes. Vous pouvez remonter le temps dans la plus ancienne église de Londres, visiter un lieu de tournage magique et prendre un ou deux selfies dans des ruines atmosphériques.

Slow Horses, but fast knowledge of London's evolution

While i am a Slow Horses fan, this tour is as much about central London as a central player in the drama. I learnt so much about history and architecture. Susannah is a wonderful guide. Incredibly knowledgeable and I think even a 'casual' fan of the shabby crew from Slow Horses would get so much from this tour. Thank you Susannah.

Great tour!

I've learnt a lot as a Londoner! I always associated the City as a place to work and never paid much attention to its secret gardens and squares, let alone its history. It's a great tour if you wan to learn more about London as a visitor or a local!

Where Roman and Saxon ruins meet secret gardens and dragons

I can fully recommend this guided tour booked through Kodama Travel, which gives you a great insight into the square mile which is now the financial headquarters of London. It is full of surprises, starts off with Roman and Saxon remains, then takes you down streets where old architecture mixes with new, and suddenly you are in the grounds of a beautiful garden, which is in fact a ruined church, hidden from the view of the street - it certainly has this secret feel about it. Along the tour, which lasts 1.5 hours, you are taken through an urban experience with reference to both history, architecture, authors like Dickens and places featured in films like the 1001 Dalmatians and Harry Potter. One of my favourite bits was when our guide Suzanne showed us the Leadenhall Market, previously a poultry market right back from the 14th century, now a beautiful, covered Victorian looking arcade. Apart from the history and funny stories surrounding it, its other attraction was a beautiful lit up Christmas Tree in the middle surrounded by pillars with dragons on the top - there was a good handful of dragons, radiating strength and magnificence. A powerful image of London which also happens to have dragons on its coat of arms. It made my day, and Suzanne was a brilliant tour guide making sure the tour was fun, informative and interesting at the same time. All in all the full experience was a treat, the booking via Kodama Travel was easy and I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to know a little bit more about London and likes to be surprised too. Tips - if you go in the winter months, wrap up warmly and bring hat, scarf and gloves just in case.

Discovering the essence of the square mile

This was really fun to do. The tour was so interesting, and we found about the hidden stories of the square mile - thankyou! I'd recommend this as a discovery tour - I never knew so much was squeezed into this small ancient part of the city.

London scandals brought to life!

Susannah brought The Scandalous Square Mile tour come to life. Helping us visualise what life was like throughout the various stages of history through her humorous stories. Showing us streets & alley ways with years of history in parts of the city one would not usually frequent. Would definitely recommend.
