Overview

You don't have to go to Rome to see Roman ruins, or even St Albans, Bath or York. Though people were all ready living here, it was the Romans who founded the modern city of Londinium that through the millennia has metamorphosed into today what is possibly the greatest city in the world.

This private walking tour will take you to little visited spots in the heart of the City of London where the remains of Roman buildings can still be found, hidden amongst all the skyscrapers of the 21st century.
