The Tour
The tour starts at Tower Hill tube Station on a viewing platform opposite the medieval castle: The Tower of London. (Note: there is no step-free access to this raised area.) The Guide starts by explaining some of the history of London, which is a very good idea as it is such an old city. The Guide also explains that the City can be deserted at the weekends as it is a business area, not a residential area. My tip would be to do this walking tour on the weekend as I went out early on a weekday morning but it was still very noisy and very busy with people and traffic. I found it hard to hear some of the audio tour and had to keep replaying directions.
From the viewing platform, to the left, you can see a Roman wall which marks the edge of the City, and to the right you can see Trinity Square Gardens where executions used to take place.
