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

“I must tell how much I enjoyed Ulrike’s Seven Deadly Sins Walk on Fridav 29th May. It was as entertaining as it was informative, A very real pleasure to be in her company on this day. Her knowledge of the subject is nothing short of remarkable and all delivered with humour and understanding. A very repeatable event.

What a wonderful way to spend a glorious sunny afternoon in London. Ulrike is a very knowledgeable guide and engaging communicator. We learned so much and discovered an area of London previously unexplored in such detail. Can thoroughly recommend being a tourist in your own city – an interesting walking tour with good tips for pubs and roof gardens en route too.

This tour is a fantastic look at London through the creative lens of the seven deadly sins! Ulrike made us laugh, think, and taught us things we’d never known about London. The two hours with her flew by, and I’d recommend this tour to anyone visiting London—first timers and returning visitors alike!

This was so much fun! Ulrike’s knowledge of London’s history is remarkable and she presents it in an entertaining (often hilarious) way. The time just whizzes past and I didn’t want it to end. Highly recommended.

This was a tour de force by Ulrike, who is so good at keeping everyone entertained. As well as having vast knowledge of her subject she is also very witty and a little bit saucy. Loved this tour and could do it again
