Denaro e potere nel giro turistico della città
Descrizione
Gossipy Tour che esplora le personalità e le organizzazioni chiave che hanno creato il distretto finanziario di Londra. Per prima cosa scopriamo il passato romano e medievale della City di Londra. Andiamo quindi alla ricerca di un'organizzazione che una volta era più grande e più importante dei giganti tecnologici di oggi, la Compagnia delle Indie Orientali, e indaghiamo sul motivo per cui la Gran Bretagna ha quasi dimenticato che sia mai esistita. Scopriamo anche la storia della Borsa e le associazioni di categoria medievali che rendono oggi la città un luogo così caratteristico. Aspettati di sentire parlare di dinamismo accanto alla criminalità mentre questo tour socievole informale discute questioni di potere e denaro attraverso i secoli che sono ancora molto rilevanti oggi.

Itinerario
Qui sugli inizi romani e medievali del Financial District
Vediamo la sede storica più importante della compagnia delle Indie Orientali avendo precedentemente visto altri siti ad essa collegati.
Ammira lo splendore neoclassico del Royal Exchange, della Bank of England e della Mansion House
Guarda la posizione della caffetteria dove si trovava inizialmente il mercato azionario. Exchange Alley o Change Alley è uno stretto vicolo che collega negozi e caffetterie in un vecchio quartiere della City di Londra. Serviva come comoda scorciatoia dal Royal Exchange su Cornhill all'ufficio postale su Lombard Street e rimane uno dei numerosi vicoli che collegano le due strade.
Guarda la Guildhall medievale e selezionati vicino agli edifici della Gilda. Le sale delle corporazioni medievali venivano utilizzate per immagazzinare merci e come luoghi per eventi celebrativi. Quando non era richiesta per gli eventi dei membri della gilda, la sala diventava spesso il luogo in cui i cittadini potevano tenere intrattenimenti come le rappresentazioni della Passione.
Ammira il moderno mercato azionario sovrastato dalla gloriosa Cattedrale di St Paul. La Cattedrale di St Paul è una cattedrale anglicana di Londra. Come sede del vescovo di Londra, la cattedrale funge da chiesa madre della diocesi di Londra. Si trova su Ludgate Hill nel punto più alto della City di Londra ed è un edificio classificato di I grado.

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!
