The walk will include some of the more famous structures in the City, along with some slightly less well known but equally interesting sights. The walk costs £7.00 per person, lasting around 2 hours and will include:

About my walking tours of the City of London...
Guided walking tours are the best possible way to explore the rich heritage and places of interest in the City of London. You can learn and see much more on a walk than you can by passing landmarks on a bus or in a taxi. The City is steeped in history with many sites to explore on foot. Varying styles of architecture, churches dating back to medieval times, civic halls, Livery halls, narrow winding alleyways, ultra modern office buildings, over 150 gardens and open spaces, sometimes hidden where you least expect to find them and a multitude of public sculpture and monuments. Walks normally last between 90 minutes and 2 hours and are priced at £7.00 per person. This is payable in advance if booked as a party over the Internet, or on the day for individuals who turn up at the starting point of a scheduled walk.
Please note that sometimes building work or other unforeseen circumstances may make it necessary to substitute some stops on certain walks
