WELCOME

 

Welcome to the City of London! Welcome to curioCITY!

​

The City of London is a very busy place. People not only make money here but also make culture, art, architecture and history for centuries! The City may be only a Square Mile in size but it is loaded with events for everyone. Whether you love to dive in art, music, theatre, or dig in food and drink, be part of ancient customs, or just enjoy a walk, it is all here for you in the City!

But remember! Whatever you do, the best way to discover the City is doing it by walking. So, when you plan your next visit, contact me to walk the City together.

On 24 September 2024 I had a privilege to take part in City Giving Day.

 

It is a day when all communities in the City, from City Guides to Livery Companies support the Lord Mayor's Appeal.

​

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!
