Turn back the clock 2000 years and join us as we trace the journey of the City of London, from the arrival of the Romans and its roots as a square mile trading village on the River Thames, all the way to becoming the financial capital of Europe, home to dozens of the strangest glass skyscrapers on Earth.

Along the way, you will hear stories of the Viking occupation, William the Conqueror's Norman Conquest, the construction of London's medieval fortress, the devastation of the Great Fire of 1666, the destruction of the Blitz and the resilience and bravery of the people who lived through it and so much more! Nowhere else in London is the clash of ancient crumbling icons and trailblazing modern architecture so obvious, with huge skyscrapers and historic 12th-century churches standing proudly, shoulder to shoulder.
