Lonely Planet Audio Walking Tours: London: The City

Welcome to the City, the fascinating and historic Square Mile at the heart of central London. In the company of Tim Pigott-Smith, you'll visit world-renowned sites, walk alongside famous figures from history, and be amazed as modern streets reveal their ancient past.     Discover Doctor Johnson's House, where the famous writer and critic lived, and explore historic Fleet Street, onetime home of the newspaper trade – and legendary 'demon barber' Sweeney Todd. Stop for a drink at the oldest pub in London, Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese, or take a quiet moment for spiritual contemplation in London's oldest church, St Bartholomew the Great. And don't miss St Paul's Cathedral, one of the most iconic sites in the capital.     Take in modern landmarks such as the Barbican and the Lloyds of London HQ, and trace London's past at the Museum of London. Visit the historic seat of government at the Guildhall, and admire the magnificent Monument, built to commemorate the Great Fire of London. And of course no City tour is complete without a visit to the world famous Tower Bridge and the Tower of London, home to ravens, Beefeaters and, of course, the Crown Jewels.
