We offer regular tours of the City's historic Guildhall, a building that dates back to the 1400s - and even further back. Learn about how the City operates, its livery companies, famous events that took place within its medieval walls and admire the impressive memorials to some of Britain’s most important historic figures.
Tours start promptly at 11.00 am and last about an hour. They take place monthly on the day of the Common Council meeting (6 March, 25 April, 22 May, 26 June, 24 July, 11 September, 9 October, 4 December 2025). Why not go along afterwards and see the City’s democracy in action?
NOTE: Guildhall is a working venue and access to certain parts of the complex (e.g. the crypts) may be restricted on days when tours are running.
Please note children must be accompanied at all times.
The tour costs £15 per person. You need to book this in advance and your booking will only be valid when it is confirmed. Payment on the day to the guide by cheque or cash.

Our daily walks run from the City Information Centre, just south of St Paul's. You need to book via Eventbrite to secure you place. Note: the cut-off time for booking our daily walks is 21:00hrs the night before. If we don't have any bookings then the walk will not take place. Read our policy on Refunds. Our weekly walks have individual booking pages and earlier cut-off times, please see the individual listing or download our Daily walks in the City of London leaflet.
If you'd like to organise your own walk, lecture or a virtual tour, then please use our Find a Guide section. If you're a member of an Arts Society or a U3A, a school or another group we'd love to take you on a tour of the City. Or if you're a company based in the City who'd like to organise a social event for your work colleagues, then contact one of our qualified guides, who can put together an evening walk for you.
