Overview

Step off the well-trodden tourist path and into the secret gardens and hidden corners of the City's ancient 'square mile'. We'll see beautiful gardens old and new: from the 16th-floor roof garden with stunning views of Tower Bridge and the Shard to the City's most atmospheric garden in the ruins of a 17th Century church. You'll hear the fascinating history of these locations and how they were shaped by fire, war, and plague.

Your guide, Alison Turner, is a qualified guide and keen amateur gardener who knows her hollyhocks from her heuchera...(she once produced a BBC series on Italian Gardens with Monty Don!)

TripAdvisor Reviews:

'A fun, educational, extraordinary experience! We all had a wonderful time being guided round the city by Alison!'

'The warmth of her personality shone through. Highly recommend.'

All Hallows By The Tower
The City's oldest church, bursting with history. The earliest recorded church here dates from 675AD! Inside we'll see a Saxon arch and remains of a Roman pavement. It's also where William Penn was baptized and where US president John Quincy Adams married a local girl. There's a sunken garden and we'll also peek into Nic's Secret Garden - a tiny unused space beside the Church bursting with plants.
