More reviewsUncovering a Hidden history of London — We were not exactly sure what to expect when we signed up but got more than we anticipated for this tour of hidden symbolism. The guide kicked things of with a conceptual overview of lay lines, nodes, and rivers, which grounded the walk through unexpected treasures we would never have known to look for, including a number of smaller Churches which lurked behind unassuming gateways we would have walked past, obliviously. Many ideas were woven together, which we would not have considered, simply because it would never have occurred to us, such as the many things the dragon can represent, and has represented to the many peoples occupying the place we now call London. Recommend for anyone looking for a deeper look into the city. Templars included. read less

More reviewsI am so glad I joined this tour of mythical symbolism, history and finance in the Square Mile. I'm very resistant to being told what to do and think, so this was a revelation for me! Arjun created a compelling narrative that encompassed the founding of the City of London, its history of co-operation through the Guilds and its power and autonomy from the Norman invasion to the present day. I can thoroughly recommend this immersive experience! read less

We booked a private tour after our friend recommended Arjun, but we asked him for a mix of historical and mystical (bespoke tour), and he delivered! The information he shared was intriguing and interesting to both our children (11 and 15) and us adults. Arjun is a truly gifted guide and a lovely human being as well. He was very accommodating, flexible and generous with his time and knowledge! We would love to catch up with him again in London or any of the other locations he explores! Highly recommend if you want a unique and deeper experience of London! read less

Thank you so much for your kind words – I’m really glad you enjoyed exploring those more hidden layers of the City, from the London Stone and Mithraeum to the Inner Temple. It’s lovely to hear you and your wife went back to the café under St Mary-le-Bow and made a little extra ritual of it with lunch in the crypt. read less

Full of iconography, our guide was very knowledgeable and gave us lots of interesting facts & perspectives on history & the events that makes London City what it is today. We went on a Sunday, two stops on the journey were closed but this was made up in extra time at other sites and images provided of the closed venues. Overall, very enjoyable! read less

Take a walk in the mystical London If you're into the mysterious or just want to see a deeper side of London, this tour is perfect. Arjun is an awesome guide — super knowledgeable and easy to talk to. We learned about ley lines, ancient history, and even astrology in the city. Eye-opening in the best way.

Arjun was thorough in his research in the topic of the tour. Arjun was thorough in his research in the topic of the tour. He took personal efforts to understand our background and customised the tour accordingly. The tour provided us fresh perspectives on the familiar city. His love for the subject came out clearly through the tour. A very special experience!

More reviewsIn somewhat of a leisurely Jules Verne sequence, the tour was a voyage across time. It gave us glimpses of Londinium in present day London. Our tour guide Mr Arjun, a prolific researcher and storyteller, dotted the landscape and ancient buildings with characters, events and turning points. Through various artefacts, he traced the origins of the financial capital of the world, and innumerable quests for power and influence. This was a very informative and thought-provoking tour and I would highly recommend it! read less
