Duck and Dive - Hidden Gems & Iconic Skyscrapers

A journey from wall to wall, and a London you may never have seen. This private walking tour of the Square Mile takes you back nearly two thousand years to Londinium, the Roman city that still lies beneath the streets, with an expert guide tracing its outline in the shadow of the glass towers.

You meet the statue of Hodge the Cat, the beloved feline of Dr. Johnson, visit St Bride's Church and see the dome of St Paul's Cathedral from outside. Beneath a modern art gallery lie the remains of the Roman amphitheatre where gladiators once fought, and elsewhere stands the shell of a church left open to the sky after the Blitz, haunting in its resilience. Along the way, your guide shows how the Roman street plan still shapes the city, with stories of emperors, merchants, martyrs and mischief-makers.

The tour ends at the mighty walls of the Tower of London, with Tower Bridge rising over the Thames, where ancient stone and modern glass meet most dramatically.
