Unlocking the City of London – Where Ancient Meets Iconic

#londontrips

Step into the City of London, where 2,000 years of history meet shiny skyscrapers and riverside strolls. This square mile packs in Roman ruins, medieval alleys, financial giants, and skyline views—all within walking distance!

🏛️ St Paul’s Cathedral

Sir Christopher Wren’s masterpiece is the beating heart of the city. Climb the Whispering Gallery for panoramic views, or simply admire its iconic dome from the Millennium Bridge.

🌉 Tower Bridge & The Tower of London

Stroll the Thames Path east to see Tower Bridge in action and explore the Tower of London, home of the Crown Jewels and centuries of royal intrigue.

🏦 The Bank of England & Royal Exchange

Stand in the heart of London’s financial power. The Bank of England Museum offers a surprising peek into economic history (and yes, you can hold a gold bar!).

🪨 London’s Roman Wall & Mithraeum

Hidden in plain sight, discover the remnants of Roman Londinium, especially the London Mithraeum beneath Bloomberg HQ—an ancient temple in a futuristic setting.

🌆 Sky Garden

For a free city skyline view, head to the Sky Garden at 20 Fenchurch Street (aka the Walkie Talkie building). Lush greenery, cafes, and glass walls overlooking London.
