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.

Ulrike was a fantastic guide who knew so many facts and made the walk really fun! I have to say it was the clearest information I have received on a walk – never too far to hear what Ulrike was saying. You also get to walk around some hidden areas if London you may not stumble upon yourself! Highly recommend.
Kirsty –
Amazing knowledge and so well delivered, thank you
Joëlle Laissy-Gontarek –
This was my second walk with Ulrike and like the first one (around Covent Gardens), this walk in the City is absolutely brilliant. A great itinerary, plenty of historical facts, fun stories and anecdotes: this walk is the best way to understand how the City of London has become what it is today. A wonderful afternoon, thanks Ulrike for being such a passionate tour guide!

Dear Ulrike,
Thank you very much for a very special tour. It was highly informative, logical and well-structured. Besides that, it was ironical and mockering. I am grateful for your care , friendliness and engagement. You are a super professional guide.

Brilliant tour! Ulrike is a fantastic story teller with a great sense of humour and kept us entertained for the whole two hours. The tour is very well structured, all the stories are based on the seven deadly sins. Highly recommended!
Elisabeth H. –
Brillant and highly entertaining walk! Cleverly designed, covers a huge amount of different subjects all representing the Seven Deadly Sins. Ulrike must have done a vast amount of research and delivers it with wit and flair. Highly recommended! I‘m looking forward to the sister walk of the Seven Deadly Sins in Covent Garden.
