London: Guided Walking Tour with Archaeologist

Discover Roman ruins, medieval landmarks, and hidden history on a walking tour led by a professional archaeologist through London’s oldest streets. Expert insight with real stories.
Walk through the heart of London with someone who doesn’t just tell history, he’s spent years digging it up.

This 2.5-hour walking tour takes you on a journey through the City of London, the square mile where London was first founded by the Romans nearly 2,000 years ago. Along the way, you'll explore a timeline of stories etched into the stones beneath your feet. From ancient ruins to medieval churches and monuments to fire, war, and execution.

Your guide is a professional archaeologist with undergraduate and post-graduate degrees from The British Institute of Archaeology (UCL) and years of experience excavating sites across Britain. That means you’ll get more than just surface-level facts, you’ll get real insight into how London grew from a Roman settlement into one of the world’s most important cities.

We’ll visit:

Tower Bridge – the city’s iconic crossing

The Tower of London – fortress, prison, palace, and execution site

Tower Hill scaffold site – where traitors and queens lost their heads

All Hallows by the Tower – a church that survived the Great Fire and WWII

The Roman Wall – a surviving stretch of Roman Londinium’s defences

St Dunstan-in-the-East – a bombed-out church turned peaceful garden

The Monument – Christopher Wren’s towering tribute to the Great Fire

The London Mithraeum – a mysterious Roman temple, hidden beneath a modern office

This tour is perfect for:

History lovers and culture enthusiasts

Visitors who want to go deeper than the typical tourist experience

Anyone curious about archaeology, Roman Britain, or how cities evolve over time

Along the way, your guide will bring history to life with stories of emperors and merchants, saints and sinners, rebels and rulers. You’ll hear about the people who walked these streets before you and how their lives still shape the world we live in.

Where possible, you may also get the chance to handle real archaeological artefacts. These are not museum pieces behind glass they’re real fragments of the past that help you connect directly with the lives of those who came before.

Small group sizes. Big stories. Deep history.

Whether it’s your first time in London or your tenth, this tour will change the way you see the city, and give you a deeper understanding of its ancient, complex, and endlessly fascinating story.
