Roman London Walking Tour

9. Roman London Walking Tour

Much of Roman London is now 23 feet or 7 metres underground but if you know where to look then you can still see Roman structures today and what makes it especially incredible is that they just about survived 2000 years of construction, great fires, bombs and wars. This walking tour takes you away from the mainstream tourist sights of the West End into the original Londinium or the City of London as it is today. You will visit the sites of the old Roman Baths in London and see some of the most impressive sections of the old Roman city wall which used to span the entire city along with the ruins of an old Roman fort. The tour also takes you underground into a crypt with the flooring of a Roman house and a ‘re-laid’ Roman pavement or sidewalk. Where possible you will visit the famed Temple of Mithras, the Persian god of heavenly light which was discovered in the 20th century before being moved to a new location.  It has now been painstakingly put back in place and restored but underneath a 21st century office tower. You will visit the site of the largest Roman building north of the Alps, the famous London Stone and the remains of the London amphitheater where 7000 people used to watch the events unfold in the arena. They might not be the most complete Roman buildings in the world but they provide a fascinating insight on the very earliest history of modern London and get to see places that even most locals never get to explore.

I absolutely loved this tour. Our guide Geebs Lovegood was absolutely fantastic and had so much knowledge. The locations were great, but what I really loved were all the things Geebs told us about, so many wonderful details that even the most die hard fan like myself didn’t know, particularly JK’s inspiration behind many things, like Gringotts Bank. It was so enjoyable, just do it x

Alex was very entertaining indeed, he was able to hold everyones attention and allowed just the right amount of time to take photos and answer questions before moving along to the next 'stop' of the tour.

A really interesting and fun way to learn more about the Great Fire. We did this over 2 days as my kids got cold and hungry. But I was happy that Questo was something I discovered.

It was absolutely brilliant. Our guide, Frederic, made it all so vivid. If you love Harry Potter this is a must! Can only be recommended.

Our guide Jonoko was very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. We had a lovely time!
