Money and Power in the City Sightseeing Tour
Overview
Gossipy Tour exploring the key personalities and organisations that created London's financial district. We first find out about the Roman and Medieval past of the City of London. We then go in search of an organisation that was once bigger and more important than the tech giants of today, the East India Company and investigate why Britain has almost forgotten it ever existed. We also discover the history of the stock market and the medieval trade associations that make the City such a distinctive place today. Expect to hear about dynamism alongside criminality as this informal sociable tour debates issues of power and money across centuries that are still super relevant today.
