About it
From Viator's listing
This isn't your average London walking tour; we’re not talking palaces and royals. Step into the belly of the beast of the British Empire and learn about how it was financed, managed, and transformed from a small Roman river crossing into the engine room of the largest empire in history. Follow the money through the oldest square mile in Britain, uncovering the hidden stories behind the people, institutions, and ideas that shaped the modern world. From London's oldest church to the narrow alleyways where modern capitalism took shape over a cup of coffee, and the Bank of England built above billions in gold, every stop reveals a forgotten chapter of London's 2,000-year story. Explore the good, bad, and the ugly of the empire and the trade, ambition, innovation, and human cost that built a global superpower. Perfect for curious travellers and history lovers looking for a London experience beyond the ordinary.

How I list these
Everything here comes from the feeds of the ticket and experience sellers I work with: Viator. That's a lot, but it isn't everything on in London: venues that sell their own tickets, or sell through sellers whose feeds don't reach me, won't show here yet.
Events are in date order, and a show on several dates appears once, on its first, with how many more there are. Things to do any day start with the seller's own UK picks, then those rated 4.5 or more, guided before self-guided, shared before private, then by rating and price. Every ticket link is an ad: if you buy, the seller may pay me commission, at no cost to you. Commission never changes what's listed or the order.
A price is the seller's lowest for one ticket (or one person, when two book a tour together), as its feed gives it, and I've checked on each seller's own pages what it covers. Where I haven't checked what a seller's price covers, or its feed is more than a day and a half old, I show no price at all.
I don't list resold tickets for football in England and Wales, or for any match in a UEFA or FIFA competition: selling or advertising them without the organiser's permission is a crime (section 166 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994). Times are UK times. Events change and sell out, so the seller's page is the final word.
