London Lost Monasteries Tour 2 hr

Travel back to London in 1526, when monasteries and nunneries shaped the city’s streets, culture, and daily life. On this London Lost Monasteries Tour, hear the stories of more than 40 religious institutions that once stood across the city and learn how their influence changed after the dissolution of the monasteries in 1540.

Walk through historic streets that still echo with this medieval past as your guide brings the lost institutions and their significance to life. The tour focuses on their stories and surviving traces from the outside; it does not enter buildings, museums, or other sites, so there are no extra admission payments. With a live English-speaking guide and a two-hour route, this London Lost Monasteries Tour offers a compelling way to explore a transformative chapter in the capital’s history.

Meet outside the only entrance to Temple tube station, where your guide will be holding a large Wilki's Walks sign. Join the walk to see London’s familiar streets through the lens of its vanished religious world.
