About this event

For nearly 2000 years people have lived and worked in the City, constantly focusing on “doing deals” and making money. This walk aims to bring to life how Londoners have conducted their “dealing” over two millennia, focusing on the most pivotal Roman, Medieval, Early Modern and more recent examples of “doing deals”. Brexit and Covid are providing the next set of challenges: it is interesting to reflect on this past as we think about how the City will adapt and keep “dealing”

Also find out where you can find, yards apart, the site of the coffee shop where anti-abolitionists used to meet and the site where the abolition movement started.

A walking tour for those interested in discovering the history, sites and buildings of the City of London: ideal for a day out, a birthday or other event with family and friends.
