Description:

Follow your expert guide—a history and archeology scholar—and explore lesser-known details about London’s past, including the remains of a Roman fort in a parking lot and an iconic pub that was a favorite among famous literary figures.

Begin at the Museum of London and explore the remains of the western gate where a Roman fort once stood. Your next stop is the church of St. Bartholomew the Great, a splendid representation of 12th-century Norman architecture.

Your tour moves toward Newgate—once infamous for its prison—where you can enjoy a pint at Ye Olde Mitre pub, a 16th-century establishment with a cherry tree that’s said to have been danced around by Queen Elizabeth I.

Walk beside the Carmelite and Dominican Friaries along Fleet Street before ending your tour at the legendary Olde Cheshire Cheese pub, once frequented by Samuel Johnson and Charles Dickens.
