Lynda (5/5) - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"The Financial London Walk is a fascinating tour of how Lindon developed into the number 1 Financial centre in the world that it is today.
The story is told by Ian in an entertaining and knowledgeable way articulating how this is relevant to the UK and global trade today. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks for a lovely afternoon!"

Will be looking for more tours that Alan is leading."
