Temple Bar: Portal to the City's Story
This two hour walk harnesses Temple Bar as the City's portal to understand the role of its churches and livery companies in the City's story
Led by City of London guide Jonathan Wober of London On The Ground, this circular tour touches on all the main phases of the City's history and key cataclysmic events that have shaped it: the Romans, Saxons, Normans, Reformation, Great Fire, WW2, post war reconstruction and the new types of architecture that have emerged since. Starting and ending at Temple Bar, the route includes St Paul's, St Mary-le-Bow, St Mary Aldermary, Guildhall Yard, Goldsmiths' Hall, Christchurch Greyfriars, Cutlers' Hall and Stationers' Hall.
The tour includes privileged access to the interior of Wren’s Temple Bar.
