Taking a guided walk around the Square Mile is the best way to see the most interesting sites and learn a little about them.

About your City of London Tour Guide...
Hi, my name is Barry, and I'm a Cockney, born and bred in the heart of London's East End. I developed a passion for the City of London while spending some years there as a newspaper vendor. If only the fire of 1666 and the bombings of World War II had not destroyed so much of it. I would have loved to walk those dingy narrow streets, although I doubt I would have enjoyed the filth and disease that went with them!
I walked the streets of today's City with a pocket camera while building my first web site. It contains a large section about the City of London. You can find it here: www.barryoneoff.co.uk. This was back in 2002. Since then the site has grown and is now very popular all over the world.
I attended the City of London guiding course at City University to increase my knowledge of the City and successfully completed all examinations.
I am now the proud owner of the City of London Guide Lecturers Association (CLGLA) certificate and official badge.
I aim to impart only the most relevant information in a relaxed manner while attempting to bring a bit of humour into your tour when appropriate.
As well as exploring the main City sights and well known routes, I will take you to places often missed by tourists. My City Highlights walk covers a miscellany of the City’s diverse buildings, streets and history. Hopefully this will stir some more interest that will bring you back for a few of the more specific themed walking tours.
I can also arrange one-off tours for groups if required. Please contact me if you have any questions or need additional information about my City of London guided tours.
