Overview

Travel back to the 1980s with the Back to the 80s Walking Tour in the City of London. Discover the striking architecture that redefined the Square Mile, from the iconic Lloyd’s building to the fairytale Minster Court, and visit the backdrop of one of the decade’s most unforgettable music videos.

Along the way, we'll explore the financial shake-up of the Big Bang, which turned London into a global financial hub, altering careers, fortunes, and the fabric of British society. As we walk, we’ll also dive into the era’s cultural scene – think power dressing, wine bars, and bold new trends.

Whether you’re nostalgic for the 80s or encountering its legacy for the first time, this tour unveils how the decade shaped the City’s skyline, economy, and way of life. It's great for fans of modern architecture, contemporary history buffs, urban explorers and anyone who loves the decade that gave us shoulder pads, yuppies and Wham!

Step into the past and experience the 80s where history was made.
