Overview

Little remains of the medieval city:  the Great Fire destroyed most of the buildings constructed from wood and straw. This walk meanders through the city in search of the stone buildings which survived as well as hidden fragments of other medieval buildings and plaques indicating where there had been important structures.

This is an easy urban walk, including several stops and possible visits.  More details to follow.

Toilets will be available at Cannon Street Station, Fenchurch Street Station and in other locations
