  • Tower of London
    The infamous Tower of London, with history going back to Roman times, home to Crown Jewels and hideous executions. Also home to one of London's ancient and precious trees and here we will go round the Mulberry bush
  • St Olave's Church
    An incredible amount of literary history here where the final remains of Old Mother Goose were laid to rest
  • London Bridge
    The famous London Bridge which is still standing, or at least the existing one is. Others have long since fallen down and we will see them too.
  • The Monument to the Great Fire of London
    Here we will see a huge and not so huge memorials to the Great Fire of London and visit the spot where Londons Burning all began.
  • Down the medieval alleys of old London we will visit St Clements of Oranges and Lemons fame as well as the rhyme of St Swithins and learning all about Dick Whittington and his cat
  • Bank
    Just why is the Cat and the Fiddle on display just a few minutes walk from the very centre of finance and old London at the Bank of England?
  • St. Paul's Cathedral
    Whilst everyone else gasps at the beautiful St Pauls Cathedral (and we can too), we'll actually visit a statue remembering the importance of the wall and meat trade and the tyrannical law that inspired Baa Baa Black Sheep
  • WIlliam Wallace Memorial
    It may be unexpected enough to find a memorial to William Wallace in the middle of London but how does this relate to the old nursery rhyme of Doctor Foster who went to Gloucester?
  • Rogers, Bradford, Philpot Memorial
    Smithfields is a place bursting with history including the possible origins of the nursery rhyme, Three Blind Mice and we can throw in Mary, Mary, Quite contrary into the mix too.
  • The Charterhouse
    We can't walk through the quiet lanes of medieval London without dealing with The Black Death or Plague and we can't do nursery rhymes with out Ring a ring o' rosies and if you like we can even visit an unfortunate victim of the dreadful Black Death
  • Farringdon
    We will finish off this tour in the heart of Farringdon with a pub that isn't all that it seems and work out what the lyrics mean for Pop Goes The Weasel.

  • We have earmarked this tour as especially safe during the Coronavirus outbreak due to generally quiet places that we visit where social distancing is generally not a problem. All of our tours are private so it is just you/your family and your guide.  To make it easier and safer for all concerned we would suggest starting this tour a little later than the usual time, perhaps around 10.30-11am which allows us all to miss rush-hour. We are happy to still come to your hotel to meet you but for the moment we would suggest meeting us at the tour starting point.  This allows you to arrive by a taxi or uber rather than public transport. Please feel free to wear masks throughout or at times during the tour.  Your guide will also have a mask with them.
