As Time Goes By London is a specialist tour operator based in London, England, offering private guided walking tours that explore the City of London’s layered history and architecture. The company curates five private experiences: History of HERstory; The Old and the New Buildings in the City of London; City Highlights; The Great Fire of London and the second great Fire of London: The Blitz; and Roman London. Each tour focuses on in-depth narratives — from suffragettes and pioneering women to Roman ruins, Sir Christopher Wren’s churches, and modern landmarks such as the Gherkin and Lloyds of London.
Tours combine mapped walking routes with historical context, covering sites like St Paul’s, Leadenhall Market, the London Mithraeum, the Roman Wall, Temple Bar, and other City landmarks. The Great Fire and Blitz tour presents eyewitness accounts and stories of resilience; the HERstory tour highlights the contributions and struggles of women across centuries. The Roman London tour traces remains of ancient bathhouses, the Roman amphitheatre, and material evidence of Rome’s influence on the city.
As Time Goes By London is featured on The Adventure Collective, which lists the operator among specialized City of London walking experiences. The provider offers private, customizable tours suitable for visitors seeking focused, historical exploration and architectural insight. Booking information and availability are provided through the business’s listings. Topics covered include women's history, the Great Fire of 1666, the Blitz of World War II, Roman London remains, and the contrast between historic and modern City architecture. Local context included.
