From the walls surrounding Sir John Soane's Bank of England to Christopher Wren's St Paul's Cathedral, this guided tour takes in an area of the capital that is steeped in wealth and history. The City's network of medieval streets boasts a rich variety of both old and new buildings and the tour, organised by Open-City (the new incarnation of London Open House), provides an opportunity to learn about new architectural developments and the debate around the issue of tall buildings in the area. Booking essential.
