The Romans settled these shores in AD 43. Within 10 years they'd established a new administrative capital of the province they called Britannia. They named this settlement Londinium, and it grew to become the metropolis we know today.

The legions once marched around its streets, gladiators fought in its amphitheatre, and citizens bathed in the numerous bathhouses. Join Nick Collinson for a walk around these very same places and re-live the splendour of the classical age in our very own London town.

This tour is graded as moderate access, due to it being a walking tour covering 1.5-2 miles over busy and uneven streets, with few places to stop and rest. Access to and from the train at Tower Hill Station is via a boarding ramp. For more information, please see https://tfl.gov.uk/transport-accessibility.
