About this tour
The City of London holds nearly 2,000 years of history within a single square mile, often hidden in plain sight. This self-guided London audio walking tour reveals the stories behind its streets, gardens, and historic landmarks as you explore at your own pace.
Begin near Café Nero on Newgate Street, then make your way through Postman's Park, where a memorial honors ordinary people who died saving others. Continue to Goldsmiths' Garden, a green space created on a bombsite, and hear about the long-running rivalry between neighboring livery halls. At Guildhall Yard, discover how a medieval Great Hall, a Roman amphitheater, and William the Conqueror's original city charter share one remarkable setting. The route also follows Cheapside and its side streets, whose names recall the goods once sold there.

How this score is calculated
This tour has no TourTruth score yet: Viator doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.
How the score works
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
