  • "This was a fascinating tour with a completely new to me focus on how the City worked as a shopping and manufacturing centre for clothes from Roman times. Susannah was an engaging and informative guide."

  • "Susannah was an excellent guide. Fascinating tour. Easy pace. Definitely worth the price. Will look for more Secret Square Mile Tours Have lived in London for 50 years and all of the tour was news to me! 5 star."
