As a City Guide I had an opportunity to meet and take for a stroll an amazing group of people from businesses across the City and Masters of a few Worshipful Livery Companies, including Fan Makers and Glovers. Thank you all for a wonderful time!

Quest to find The Key to the City
​
City of London is full of secrets. It is a tiny area, but it is hiding lots of amazing places with surprising stories, unusual rights and roles, and ancient traditions. This family-friendly walking tour took the chosen ones for a quest to find The Key to the City.
On your way, you will looked for big sculptures, old buildings, legendary bridges and a mysterious garden. We searched for Romans, gold cats, mythical dragons and mysterious signs. We sought out the home of the most important person in the City and the only medieval stone structure still standing in the Square Mile. After finding them, we heard their stories, discovered their meaning and importance to the City and the whole of London.
After revealing these secrets while taking part in activities, solving puzzles and riddles at every stop, all participants in the quest were rewarded at the end of the tour with The Key to the City!
