Fashion History Walking Tour in London

It's not all bowler hats and briefcases in London's financial district. The Square Mile is the oldest neighbourhood in London, and on this tour we'll discover how fashion has shaped its history. Led by a former fashion journalist, this walking tour traces the story of fashion in the City of London, from the must-have Roman hoodie to the old jewellery and shoemaking quarters. We'll stroll through the City's most prestigious shopping areas, wander down its historic alleyways, and strike a pose at an iconic shoot location as we uncover its secret roots in the rag trade. The tour ends at The Royal Exchange, London's oldest shopping mall – perfect if you're in the mood for some retail therapy afterwards.
