  • Euroroc London Walking Tour with Peter Harrison
    Euroroc London Walking Tour with Peter Harrison Introduction Walking around the streets, from St Pauls thorough to Paternoster and on to the Guildhall, few people look up or down at the buildings and pavements or notice the history around them. The tour will start at Temple Bar, proceed through Paternoster and out via Panyer Alley. We will then turn right into Cheapside and left into Foster Lane. We turn right into Gresham Street and then through Guildhall Yard to look at the Library. We will look at some important and interesting buildings, pavements and monuments. Because there was never any satisfactory building stone local to London, buildings, pavements and monuments are constructed using a variety of interesting stone brought by sea and river, rail and road. The stone used ranges from sedimentary rock, often from the tropical sea floor 140 million years old, through to metamorphic and igneous rock some 500 million years old. Many of the buildings in the area are faced with Portland stone, although sandstone, granite and slate are also present. This tour will include: St Paul’s Cathedral Temple Bar The Column, Paternoster Square King Edward Court, 10 Paternoster Square Cheapside Goldsmith Hall 25 Gresham Street 10 Gresham Street 20 Gresham Street 31 Gresham Street 100 Wood Street 30 Gresham Street 65 Gresham Street Guildhall Yard The Guildhall St Pauls Cathedral Designed by Sir Christopher Wren, St Pauls Cathedral was built between 1675 and 1710 using Portland stone. Portland stone had been used in London for the Tower of London in 1349 and London Bridge in 1350.
