Behold the City of London – let there be light* on 2000 years of history from ancient Roman beginnings to the modern Square Mile.
And lurking at every turn sinners great and small whose sinful acts birthed and then nourished this City on the Thames.
Come join me, Ulrike**…
on a journey to discover how Lust, Avarice, Sloth, Envy, Gluttony, Anger and Pride, the Seven Deadly Sins, both corrupted the people of London and drove its history.
From riots to orgies, excess to industrial espionage, high modern buildings to hidden alleyways, losing inhibitions to losing one’s head and many more tales of the unknown.
In between each of the Seven Deadly Sins another story of lust, that binds the walk together.
At the end, outside the Tower of London, we will meet the biggest sinner of all, and I can promise you, it won’t be the person you’re thinking of…
Join me on my sinful walk through the City of London from one fortress to another, from the Bank of England to the Tower of London with lots of entertainment in between!
Tales writ in London’s lowering clouds and brazen buildings and angry skies and phallic skyline and murky river.
*Shine a light especially on its darker corners, its dirty little (and not so little) secrets. Its seven deadly sins.

This walk has a really creative structure that makes it a very enjoyable two hours. The theme allows for some brilliantly-researched and cleverly-linked anecdotes that are expertly told across an interesting route. This makes it a great walk for anyone, including those who may feel they’ve already seen the square mile

A hugely enjoyable afternoon exploring the City and its hidden secrets. Book if you like a bit of history and love visiting coffee houses, alleyways, scenes of execution, etc still there hundreds of years later. Ulrika is an excellent guide bringing the past to life.

Booked by a friend, not really my thing. But I was completely bowled over by Ulrike . A very interesting tour with perfectly chosen stories and anecdotes to illustrate, lots of humour and all exceptionally well delivered. I was immensely impressed -thank you

We have enjoyed many excellent London walks but Ulrike tops them all. Her enthusiasm is infectious, her knowledge of her subject material is exhaustive and she has a wicked sense of humour. You cannot afford to miss this experience if you want a real sense of what makes London one of the most intriguing cities in the world, thank you Ulrike! *****

We had an excellent time on Ulrike’s guided tour. For starters, the concept of the tour was interesting and unique – following the theme of the “seven deadly sins” , with each place we visited marking a new sin. Ulrike was hugely informative while also managing to keep things fun and engaging – often asking us to guess who we thought may have committed each sin. As a Londoner myself I was surprised by how little I really knew about the city and would recommend the tour to anyone – whether to learn about the history or just for fun!
