The City of London
– the original London – was founded by the Romans in the first
century AD. It has survived fire, plague, terrorism and war, and has witnessed
almost 2000 years of history. This is the famous 'Square Mile', the London
that Shakespeare knew; the home of Chaucer, Pepys, Johnson and Dickens.
The best way to see the
sights is on foot, in the company of a professionally qualified City of London
Guide.
Today 'the City', as Londoners call it, is the financial
capital of Europe and a treasure trove of peaceful churches, noble livery
companies, austere banks and law courts, busy markets, secret gardens and
cozy pubs.
