About this Event
With a history stretching back two millennia, London has seen more than its fair share of rebellion and righteous (or not so righteous) retribution. Ian Fagelson (London’s # 1 tour guide according to Tripadvisor) will guide you from the Roman Wall marking the City’s Eastern boundary to the Church of St Stephen Walbrook, the birthplace of the Samaritans in 1953.
Along the way, we will explore narrow alleys, view spectacular ancient and modern architecture and encounter some of the larger than life characters and momentous events that have left their marks on London over its two thousand years of history - including Queen Boudicca who destroyed Roman London in the year 61, the rebel "Emperor" Carausius whose revolt against Rome led to the destruction of the London Forum in the year 300, the 1381 Peasant's Revolt, Samuel Pepys who chronicled the destruction of London in 1666, Bonnie Prince Charlie's Jacobite rebels of 1745, the notorious 18th Century Hellfire Club, the Gordon rioters who attacked the Bank of England in 1780 and the climate change protesters who invaded the Mansion House in 2019.
All proceeds will be donated to Tommy's, a charity dedicated to finding causes and treatments to save babies’ lives as well as providing trusted pregnancy and baby loss information and support. We suggest a minimum donation of £15 per person.
