Powerhouse London - Private Walking Tour
From the omnipotent Roman Empire to our modern world society, London has been and still is a magnet for the mighty and the maker. Your guide will take you back 2000 years and explore with you, why the Roman Empire chose ‘Londinium’ as their stronghold of their Western border. Take a stroll through the ‘Priory in the Wild West’ and find out how, where and why the power of the commoners, lords and clergy played ball for the last 800 years. Learn why the City of London is a power in its own right and how it happened that the East India Company once held more power than the Empress of India. Discover the Temple, the centre of law and order and learn about the role that the kings and queens of England played in this game of power. This tour is not suitable for children under 16.
