Starting outside Temple station, your guide will show you a completely different side to the city by taking you away from the tourist trail to the tiny lanes and alleyways around Fleet Street and St. Paul's, showing you ancient cloisters, medieval courtyards, lost rivers, sunken wells and disused ghost stations.

With an explorer's eye you'll be looking through windows, peering into grills, and staring up at the rooftops to uncover some of the extraordinary myths and legends of Old London Town.

Highlights include a place where the Knights Templar once worshiped, a church that inspired the wedding cake, a Roman Bath with a questionable past, the site of Sweeney Todd's barbershop, sites significant to Charles Dickens, and a hidden alleyway with a fascinating link to the newspaper industry.
