History of the City of London
A 45 minute romp through the History of the
City of London from its Roman origins 2000 years ago to the top
financial centre today. Destroyed by fire and World War 2 it
has always recovered and moved successfully forward.
The Story of Southwark
Roman Suburb and Southern Earthworks, all
walks of life passed through Southwark. It had its own great
fire and was 17th century’s entertainment centre.
St. James’s
One of the best addresses in London,
gentlemens clubs, exclusive shopping, Sir Christopher
Wren’s favourite church and the oldest Royal palace in
London.
City of London Gardens
The square mile or financial mile as it is
often called
is all about banking, stocks, shares, insurance and the financial world, however, the city prides itself on its green spaces and the important role they play in the lives of people working in the city.

were built to cope with the river traffic, they became the largest enclosed dock system Europe and had their busiest year in 1964. During 1970’s all the
docks in London closed down. Now redeveloped
as a state of the art business centre.
