Overview

The oldest neighbourhood in London, the Square Mile survived both the Great Fire and the Blitz to become a global financial powerhouse today. It's home to an iconic cathedral, soaring skyscrapers and ancient Roman remains, all packed into one square mile- and has its own unique system of government too. The City of London is like nowhere else in the world, and this tour is the perfect introduction.

About your host

Square Mile Secrets

A former journalist, official Green Badge tourist guide and Freeman of the City of London, I live right here in the Square Mile - London's oldest neighbourhood. When I'm not showing visitors around the City, I volunteer with a community gardening group that supports the City's gardens team and aims to enhance biodiversity and improve access to green spaces. In keeping with Square Mile Secrets' sustainable ethos, all my walking tours explore the City on foot, and are easily accessed by public transportation.
