About this Event

The Empire Balance Sheet


A corporation more powerful than nations. A tea-sipping empire built on opium and sugar. Discover a new perspective of London as you walk the roads that connect its present to its past - and perhaps its future.


Why do stock bubbles happen? How did banks and insurance companies as we know today come about? Was slavery a critical component of the 18th century economic boom that made London the center of world?


And what can we learn from it all today?


Whether you work in financial services, love overthinking your colonial heritage, or just want to peel some layers of the 2000 years of history in the City of London - this analytical walk is for you!
Your guide Achyut was born in Calcutta, the erstwhile capital of British India, and moved to London 8 years ago to work as a consultant at BCG. Constantly finding traces of his home country's past in this adopted one, he is now combining a passion for history and a deep love for London to give a colonized voice to key events of British Empire that shape our world and city to this day.
