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.
**In the interest of sparing me some blushes, David put the poster up, not me

Ulrike is an excellent storyteller. She has obviously gone to great lengths to research her subject, and delivers with a lot of fun. Even as a Londoner, I am enthralled with all the hidden alleyways and history over the ages. Thank you Ulrike!

Fabulous Fabulous Fabulous…… this is a must tour. At every corner you will see a breathtaking building or alleyway or garden or a hidden gem with enthralling history. The narrator (Ulrike) grips your attention from beginning to end with her style of personality and story telling and blissful clear voice that you don’t miss anything, and believe me you don’t want to miss anything she says.

Brilliant experience! Ulrike has taken us for a walk around the city following a trail of sins. The stories go from the Roman times up until the XX century and she ties one with the other in an effortless way and with lots of context and quotes. Highly recommended.

We’ve done a lot of walks with London Walks and we love them but we really wanted to give some love to the two complimentary (but independent) walks about The Seven Deadly Sins with Ulrike. They’re both absolutely brilliant, cannot recommend them highly enough. Ulrike is an excellent storyteller and generous guide, do yourself a favour and be her guest at the next available opportunity.

I thoroughly enjoyed this walk. Ulrike is a wonderful guide. She brought history alive from her great study and research which was sprinkled with anecdotes and quotes from the past. You felt transported back to particular times and periods of London as a result. Can’t wait to do the sister walk of this on Monday!

Just finished the city of London 7 deadly sins walk with Ulrike. Informative, interesting and entertaining, what a great way to spend two hours exploring alleyways and history in the City. Ulrike is full of knowledge, insight and scandal! Thank you so much, my Mum and I both really enjoyed ourselves.
