About this experience
Step back nearly 2,000 years on a fascinating guided walk through the hidden ancient history of London. Led by an experienced History teacher, this two-hour tour explores Roman and Anglo-Saxon London. We explore ancient Roman walls, forgotten Anglo-Saxon churches, see the mysterious London Stone, walk along medieval lanes, and wonder at the oldest church in the City. Along the way you'll uncover stories of emperors, saints, rebels, and merchants. The tour starts close to the Tower of London and ends in Holborn with a short London bus journey included. The tour ends at the historic Ye Olde Mitre pub, one of London's most interesting small pubs - this is London's past brought vividly to life. This tour is new and includes a range of fascinating historic sights which are unknown to most visitors and many guides. However, it does also pass famous attractions such as the Tower of London, Tower Bridge, the Monument, St. Paul's Cathedral and the Old Bailey - which are visible from outside.

What you'll see and do
London Wall
The London Wall is a defensive wall first built by the Romans around Londinium in c. AD 200. Parts of it remain standing and I will show you one well known part and a more hidden larger section.

All Hallows By The Tower
All Hallows by the Tower is the oldest church in the City of London, originally founded in 675 AD by the Saxon Abbey of Barking. Located just a short walk from the Tower of London, this historic Anglican parish survived the Great Fire of London in 1666 and was heavily rebuilt after sustaining catastrophic bomb damage during the Blitz in World War II. The church contains a surviving 7th-century Saxon arch built from recycled Roman tiles. It was also the wedding site of U.S. President John Quincy Adams in 1797 and the baptism place of William Penn, the founder of Pennsylvania.

Billingsgate Roman Bath House
We will pass this museum which has a helpful painting on the outside of Roman London. The museum has irregular opening times.
Pass by without stopping
Lovat Lane is one of the last remaining cobbled, narrow medieval streets in the City of London. Running steeply downhill from Eastcheap to Lower Thames Street, it perfectly captures a "Ye Olde London" atmosphere framed sharply against modern architectural backdrops.

The london stone
The London Stone is an ancient, enigmatic block of oolitic limestone that has served as the symbolic and mythic heart of the City of London for thousands of years. A popular myth claims it was the pedestal for the statue of Diana brought to Britain by Brutus of Troy, the legendary mythical founder of London.

St. Etheldreda's Church
St Etheldreda's Church is the oldest Roman Catholic church in England and one of only two remaining buildings in London dating back to the reign of King Edward I. Built around 1290. The low-ceilinged, atmospheric candlelit crypt is even older than the main chapel. Its thick stone walls hold the statues of Catholic martyrs executed during the Reformation. The church is dedicated to Saint Etheldreda (c. 636–679 AD), also known by her Anglo-Saxon name Æthelthryth. She was a 7th-century princess, queen, and abbess who became the most widely venerated female saint of Anglo-Saxon England. Her 1,300 year old relics are kept at the church.

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Anglo-Saxon & Roman London: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does Anglo-Saxon & Roman London cost?
+
Prices start at $20 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in London usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Anglo-Saxon & Roman London take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in London is not rushed.
Is Anglo-Saxon & Roman London worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Anglo-Saxon & Roman London?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Anglo-Saxon & Roman London suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 18. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 2-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Anglo-Saxon & Roman London?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in London can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in London and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Anglo-Saxon & Roman London start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central London within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in London?
+
London's best attractions split cleanly: the museums are free and need no booking, so the paid market is about views, theatre and getting out of the city for a day. That makes value scoring unusually important here, and the Outty Ranking penalises anything charging premium prices for access you could get for nothing. On Outty we rank every London experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs, The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit London?
+
May to September for long evenings, December for the Christmas markets. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in London?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
