unknownndestinationn — Guildhall Art Gallery
Everyone goes to Central London… but this walking route through the City is full of hidden historic gems most people walk straight past. This is one of our favourite walks when we want to see a completely different side of London — Roman ruins, hidden gardens, Brutalist architecture, medieval buildings, and historic streets all in one route. Here’s the route we recommend: 📍 Museum of the Order of Saint John @museumstjohn 📍 Smithfield Market @smithfield.market 📍 Barbican Estate @barbicancentre 📍 Barbican Conservatory 📍 St Alphage High Walk 📍 Guildhall @guildhalllondon 📍 Guildhall Art Gallery @guildhallartlondon 📍 Old Spitalfields Market @oldspitalfieldsmarket It’s an easy walk overall, but with museum stops, coffee breaks, and time to explore properly, we’d recommend setting aside around 5–6 hours. Save this for your next London day out 👀🌿 #londonwalks #londonguide #londonhiddengems #thingstodoinlondon #cityoflondon London walking route | Hidden London | Historic London walk | London hidden gems | Things to do in London | London travel guide | City of London walk | Unique London itinerary
