Visite guidée de l'argent et du pouvoir dans la ville
Description
Gossipy Tour explore les personnalités et organisations clés qui ont créé le quartier financier de Londres. On découvre d'abord le passé romain et médiéval de la City de Londres. Nous partons ensuite à la recherche d'une organisation qui était autrefois plus grande et plus importante que les géants de la technologie d'aujourd'hui, la Compagnie des Indes orientales, et cherchons pourquoi la Grande-Bretagne a presque oublié son existence. On découvre également l'histoire de la Bourse et des corps de métiers médiévaux qui font aujourd'hui de la Cité un lieu si particulier. Attendez-vous à entendre parler de dynamisme aux côtés de la criminalité alors que cette tournée sociable informelle débat des questions de pouvoir et d'argent à travers les siècles qui sont toujours d'actualité aujourd'hui.

Découvrez la splendeur néo-classique du Royal Exchange, de la Banque d'Angleterre et de Mansion House
Découvrez l'emplacement du café où le marché boursier était basé pour la première fois. Exchange Alley ou Change Alley est une ruelle étroite reliant des boutiques et des cafés dans un vieux quartier de la City de Londres. Il servait de raccourci pratique du Royal Exchange sur Cornhill au bureau de poste sur Lombard Street et reste l'une des nombreuses ruelles reliant les deux rues.
Voir le Guildhall médiéval et sélectionné à proximité des bâtiments de Guilde. Les salles de guilde médiévales étaient utilisées pour stocker des marchandises et comme lieux pour des événements festifs. Lorsqu'elle n'était pas requise pour les événements des membres de la guilde, la salle devenait souvent un lieu où les citadins pouvaient organiser des divertissements tels que des pièces de la Passion.
Découvrez le marché boursier moderne dominé par la glorieuse cathédrale Saint-Paul. La cathédrale Saint-Paul est une cathédrale anglicane de Londres. En tant que siège de l'évêque de Londres, la cathédrale sert d'église mère du diocèse de Londres. Il se trouve sur Ludgate Hill au point culminant de la ville de Londres et est un bâtiment classé Grade 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!
