TOUR ITINERARY
We’ll meet outside the exit for Temple Station atTemple Place, Temple, London WC2R 2PH
We explore one fo the building blocks of modern London’s DNA at a Wren Church with famous associations and the story of how the churches of London came to influence cities around the world.
One of the few surviving fragments of medieval London and a remarkable survivor. Please note only available for week day bookings.
We delve into the story of Giles Gilbert Scott who inadvertantly helped to create one of the world’s greatest modern art galleries with his design of a power station, which one might also experience as an industrial cathedral
It has been a hallowed place in London for two thousand years and the current St Pauls rebuilt after the Great Fire in 1666 is perhaps London’s finest of all its buildings. The story behind it and the people who built it is remarkarkable and touches upon genius. Here we delve deeply into that story; what was and what could have been too. This tour does not enter the Cathedral as standard however, this can be arranged by prior request. Please email info(at)thelondonstoryteller.com either after booking or in advance of doing so to find out more.
You’ve seen the masterpiece, now enjoy a refreshing drink in the pub built for the people who made it
Cripplegate like so many neighbourhoods in Europe was ravaged by war and what stands in its place now is a battlement for the modern city dweller as though conjured by Corbusier.
Two remarkable buildings adjacent to one another, designed by the same team forty years apart and yet both resemble artefacts of the future.
