Gossipy Tour exploring the key personalities and organisations that created London's financial district. We first find out about the Roman and Medieval past of the City of London. We then go in search of an organisation that was once bigger and more important than the tech giants of today, the East India Company and investigate why Britain has almost forgotten it ever existed. We also discover the history of the stock market and the medieval trade associations that make the City such a distinctive place today. Expect to hear about dynamism alongside criminality as this informal sociable tour debates issues of power and money across centuries that are still super relevant today.

An excellent two hour walking tour around the City. Having worked in London's financial district for some time I was very impressed that Terry took my son and I to plenty of places I didn't know existed. A really informative tour that began with London's creation on the outskirts of the Roman Empire, through the period of the East India Company and then up to the present day. Terry has an infectious interest in his historical subject. Highly recommended. 10/10.

Very knowledgeable. Great foundation to understand early, mid and current London. We had just arrived from the states and found this tour really interesting and it helped us appreciate London even more.

Absolutely brilliant experience! The Money and Power in the City sightseeing tour in London exceeded our expectations, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Terry. He brought centuries of financial and political history to life with such clarity, humor, and insight that even those of us without any background knowledge could easily follow along and stay engaged throughout. Terry has a real gift for storytelling—he made complex topics feel tangible and relevant, seamlessly connecting the past to the present. The tour was well-paced, thoughtfully structured, and packed with fascinating facts and anecdotes. It really opened our eyes to the hidden stories behind London’s financial district. Well worth the 2 hours—we highly recommend it to anyone curious about how money and power have shaped the City. Thanks, Terry!
Great tour!

Amazingly enjoyable and informative tour. You will learn so much about the history of the area dating back from the Romans to the present while also gaining a greater understanding for how the impacts of history still have implications in the modern day. Highly recommend!

We did the tour on Wednesday during the half term and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Terry was so welcoming and knowledgeable - it was a pleasure to be in his company for the two hours with his infectious laugh 😃. Would definitely recommend and we would look at booking his other tours for sure. Thank you for looking after us, Terry.

Terry speaks with the enthusiasm of a teenager with a college history professor's mind. (which he is!) His tour educates, enlightens and entertains regarding the money and power center of London. A whirlwind history of the City of London is included. If you're into "power," highly recommended.
