the hidden stories of
the square mile
The City of London is a powerhouse of activity. For centuries, people have come here not only to make money, but to shape culture, art, architecture, and history. Though it spans just a single Square Mile, the City is packed with experiences for everyone. Whether you love diving into art, music, and theater; exploring the food and drink scene; taking part in ancient customs; or simply enjoying a walk, it is all right here.
But remember: the absolute best way to discover the City is on foot.
My walks take you on a quest through the City's hidden streets, alleyways, passages, churchyards, and squares. They reveal its curiosities, peculiarities, and oddities through the stories of its people and past inhabitants, its buildings and ruins, its green spaces and blue plaques.
Take a look, find a walk that suits you, and let's discover the City together. When you plan your next visit, contact me and see where curioCITY can take you!

Hi, I’m Laura—an official Green Badge City of London Guide accredited by the Institute of Tourist Guiding and a holder of the Golden Key from Open City.
The historic City is London’s birthplace, and for me, exploring its hidden alleys and iconic landmarks feels like stepping into Wonderland. I never tire of it, and it is a true privilege to share this extraordinary place with every visitor who walks through it.

I recently took a walking tour of the City of London with Laura, and it was a revelation! As someone who to work in the area, I was amazed to discover signs and symbols that had gone unnoticed during my daily routine. The guide shared fascinating stories and fun facts that brought the rich history of the City to life. I left with a newfound appreciation for the hidden gems right my old workplace.
