Financial London Walk Reviews:

Sally (5/5) - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Ian was very knowledgeable. It was very interesting to learn about the past and present of the financial sector and its importance to the UK economy. Even though we have lived near the City for many years there are so many back streets and alleys to explore. There is so much more to find out about London and London Walks are a great way to do this."
