***What the Dickens***

After a dramatic acquittal for treason, Charles Darnay finds relief not in a grand palace, but in the everyday heart of the City of London.
In A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens leads Darnay and Sydney Carton down Ludgate Hill to Fleet Street, slipping “up a covered way” into a tavern where good food and wine restore both body and spirit. That tavern was almost certainly Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese, rebuilt after the Great Fire of 1666 and one of Dickens’ favourite haunts.
It’s a moment that reminds us how Dickens grounded his great dramas in real streets and real places — many of which still welcome visitors today.

At Square Mile Experiences, our walking tours uncover these literary landmarks, where fiction, history, and the everyday life of the City meet.

Feeling a little under the weather? You’re in good company…
In 1663, Samuel Pepys famously wrote about staying in bed on the advice of his apothecary, blaming his woes on “a late quantity of Dantzic-girkins”! Even four centuries ago, Londoners were diagnosing themselves with questionable remedies and colourful excuses.
Luckily, fresh air, gentle exercise, and good company have always been a better cure.
So why not follow Pepys’ lead (minus the sweating it out in bed) and join Square Mile Experiences for a stroll through the winding streets of the City of London?
Our guided walks bring the past vividly to life — from diarists and doctors to dukes and dinner tables — uncovering the everyday stories, oddities, and ailments that shaped London life.
Step out, stretch your legs, and let history work its magic.
Fresh air beats girkins every time. 😉
