City of London Money and Power Small-Group Walking Tour

In 2005 while working on the trading floor of a Major bank in the City I predicted an incoming financial crash; it came true in 2008. Today I am compelled to share what I learned, like why a stick can be better money than gold, and how this stick money came to define an era known as Merry England!

Since the creation of Bank of England the City of London created and empire and today is the center of global finance. I share the unique history, traditions and innovations that made this city the envy of kings.

You will learn about the different types of money we have had throughout the ages, The history that defined the money we have today, and the key themes that have continued to influence it: Technology, Sovereigns, Wars, Religion, Greed and Philosophy.

Ancient mythology is woven into our story of money and power, beginning outside the sculpture of the minotaur in Salters garden and concluding at the ancient Roman temple where the Sun god is shown sacrificing a bull!
