A Journey Beneath the Modern City
Long before the skyscrapers and double-decker buses, London was Londinium – a bustling Roman settlement on the edge of an empire. With this unique walking tour, you'll leave behind the glass towers of the present and dive deep into the ancient foundations of Britain’s capital.
This isn’t a history lesson. It’s a full sensory experience of the old city – through narrow alleys, under modern buildings, and into spaces where Roman life still echoes in stone and silence.
Highlights of the Tour
-
Roman City Walls – Discover sections of London’s original defensive walls, hidden in plain sight among office blocks and modern façades.
-
The Roman Amphitheatre – Stand in the shadows of an ancient arena beneath the Guildhall, where crowds once roared as gladiators fought for survival.
-
The Temple of Mithras – A hidden underground sanctuary dedicated to the mysterious cult of Mithras, a rare glimpse into ancient religious rites.
-
Lost streets and forgotten corners – Your guide will reveal how Roman roads still shape the layout of the City, and how medieval and modern London grew from these ancient roots.
