Behold the City of London – let there be light* on 2000 years of history from ancient Roman beginnings to the modern Square Mile.
And lurking at every turn sinners great and small whose sinful acts birthed and then nourished this City on the Thames.
Come join me, Ulrike**…
on a journey to discover how Lust, Avarice, Sloth, Envy, Gluttony, Anger and Pride, the Seven Deadly Sins, both corrupted the people of London and drove its history.
From riots to orgies, excess to industrial espionage, high modern buildings to hidden alleyways, losing inhibitions to losing one’s head and many more tales of the unknown.
In between each of the Seven Deadly Sins another story of lust, that binds the walk together.
At the end, outside the Tower of London, we will meet the biggest sinner of all, and I can promise you, it won’t be the person you’re thinking of…
Join me on my sinful walk through the City of London from one fortress to another, from the Bank of England to the Tower of London with lots of entertainment in between!
Tales writ in London’s lowering clouds and brazen buildings and angry skies and phallic skyline and murky river.
*Shine a light especially on its darker corners, its dirty little (and not so little) secrets. Its seven deadly sins.
**In the interest of sparing me some blushes, David put the poster up, not me

What a great tour and a brilliant and entertaining way to learn about the history and quirks and stories of the City of London and the people who lived there. Ulrike was knowledgeable, interesting, clear and funny and brought a the tour of all the buildings and characters to life It really was a great way not only to learn more about the extraordinary history of the City, but also to spend two hours on a Friday afternoon I could not recommend Ulrike’s tour more hig

We loved the walk. Ulrike was a font of knowledge. Her delivery was clear and entertaining & she had no problems holding our attention for the two hours. We’ll certainly go on one of her other tours. Thank-you Ulrike.

Another fantastic walk. Ulrike was so knowledgeable and entertaining. Learnt so many facts about London we would never have known and saw beautiful alleyways and streets would never know existed! Fantastic 2 hrs that went by in a flash! Highly recommend!

This walk has a really creative structure that makes it a very enjoyable two hours. The theme allows for some brilliantly-researched and cleverly-linked anecdotes that are expertly told across an interesting route. This makes it a great walk for anyone, including those who may feel they’ve already seen the square mile

A hugely enjoyable afternoon exploring the City and its hidden secrets. Book if you like a bit of history and love visiting coffee houses, alleyways, scenes of execution, etc still there hundreds of years later. Ulrika is an excellent guide bringing the past to life.
