Highlights
  • Trinity Square - Our first location is Trinity Square, from which we will be able to view 10 Trinity Square, the former home of the Port of London Authority (built when London was one of the world’s busiest ports) and which was where the United Nations held its inaugural reception. \n\nWhilst at Trinity Square we will also view the memorial to the Merchant Navy who suffered heavy casualties during both the First and Second World Wars. The Merchant Navy was vital to Britain’s survival and the memorial gives us chance to discuss the important role that the Merchant Navy played (and still play) in supplying the UK with all the goods that it loves from across the world.

Dewi is highly recommended as a guide to London - Dewi is an extraordinary guide. He is friendly and quite approachable. It was like spending the morning strolling through London with a friend as he recites the history of this remarkable city.
