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

Joined Ulrike’s tour on the spur of the moment and it was so brilliant I’m going to book on one of her other tours. She led us to intriguing places hidden away in the City and told us the most amazing and often hilarious stories. Two hours just flew by and left us wanting more. Can’t recommend this highly enough. Ulrike’s the best tour guide ever!

This tour was amazing! Ulrike is an amazing guide that made the two hours fly by! Her knowledge about the history of London is seriously impressive, and she tells it in a very entertaining way. I was able to learn so many interesting facts during the tour thanks to her! Thank you so much again, I highly recommend this tour!

After a difficult beginning finding the start venue of the walk (go to the Wellington Monument!), we really enjoyed the tour. Ulrike is a fountain of knowledge. She wove a story about the seven deadly sins based on historical facts. We loved the tiny alleyways that you would normally just walk past. Greatly recommend! Sorry we had to miss the follow-up on Mondays.

“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!

We loved this tour! A super creative and fascinating take on historical London. We learned a lot and also thought the scenery and route through the area was very lovely. Definitely recommend for first timers to London and regular visitors! We had both in our group and everyone got something out of it.
