Acquired in 1532 and rebuilt in 1670 after the Great Fire, the Hall was partially destroyed in 1941 by enemy action and rebuilt in a Neo-Georgian style in 1960. The original charter, portraiture and stained glass are of particular interest.

Step into a world where sermons, gossip, and newsprint shaped the city’s soul. On this two-hour walk between Fleet Street and the Strand, we will explore London’s unique triangle of communication: churches, pubs, and the printing press. These were the original social networks — places where people gathered to worship, to argue, to drink, and to share stories.

Our walk explores the river that shaped London. As we follow the North Bank, we will uncover how the Thames sparked the city’s birth, powered trade, and supported daily life. From ancient monument, to medieval bridge building, Victorian engineering, to today’s iconic views and new super sewer – the riverside reveals Londoners' evolving relationship with the Thames.
