What each tour covers

• City of Shadows: London doesn't destroy its past, it builds on top of it. Walk from plague pit to execution dock through nine hundred years of burial, erasure, and the things the city tries to forget. Timed for dusk.
• Money, Blood & Fire: Walk through the Square Mile's 2,000-year history, threaded through the narrative of the Great Fire of 1666. Tower Bridge to St Paul's Cathedral, Roman soldiers, medieval executioners, a baker who burned down a city, and a genius who rebuilt it.
• Power & Dissent: Walk the half-mile where kings were beheaded, suffragettes were beaten, and a one-man peace camp outlasted two prime ministers, Westminster's story isn't just about power, it's about the people who fought it.
