Pengar och makt i stadssightseeingturen
Beskrivning
Gossipy Tour som utforskar nyckelpersonligheterna och organisationerna som skapade Londons finansdistrikt. Vi får först reda på det romerska och medeltida förflutna i City of London. Vi går sedan på jakt efter en organisation som en gång var större och viktigare än dagens teknikjättar, Ostindiska kompaniet, och undersöker varför Storbritannien nästan har glömt att det någonsin existerade. Vi upptäcker också aktiemarknadens historia och de medeltida branschföreningarna som gör staden till en så särpräglad plats idag. Förvänta dig att höra om dynamik vid sidan av kriminalitet när denna informella sällskapliga turné diskuterar frågor om makt och pengar under århundraden som fortfarande är superrelevanta idag.

Här om den romerska och medeltida början av finansdistriktet
Vi ser den viktigaste historiska platsen för det ostindiska företaget efter att tidigare ha sett andra webbplatser kopplade till det.
Se den neoklassiska prakten på Royal Exchange, Bank of England och Mansion House
Se platsen för kaféet där aktiemarknaden först var baserad. Exchange Alley eller Change Alley är en smal gränd som förbinder butiker och kaféer i en gammal stadsdel i City of London. Den fungerade som en bekväm genväg från Royal Exchange på Cornhill till postkontoret på Lombard Street och är kvar som en av ett antal gränder som förbinder de två gatorna.
Se den medeltida Guildhall och utvalda i närheten av Guild-byggnader. Medeltida skråhallar användes för att förvara varor och som platser för festliga evenemang. När det inte krävdes för guildmedlemmars evenemang, blev hallen ofta en plats där stadsborna kunde hålla underhållning som passionsspel.
Se den moderna börsen som tornar upp sig av den härliga St Paul's Cathedral. St Paul's Cathedral är en anglikansk katedral i London. Som säte för biskopen av London fungerar katedralen som moderkyrka för Londons stift. Det ligger på Ludgate Hill på den högsta punkten i City of London och är en kulturminnesmärkt byggnad.

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!
