This book is full of fascinating facts and stories and I’m ashamed to say, as a Londoner born and bred, I was ignorant of many of them, so it also serves as an educational tool for the likes of me.
Everything you might wish to know about Guildhall and its environs is here, including chapters on the City parish church, St Lawrence Jewry; the Roman Amphitheatre below the art gallery; the City of London Police Museum and public events held in Guildhall Yard such as the Cart Marking Ceremony every July and the Pearly Kings and Queens Harvest Parade in September.

The book has now inspired me to revisit the whole precinct under its expert guidance.

This is an excellent book about an underrated area of London. It is well researched and well presented. It mixes a lot of history with many anecdotes and contains photos, illustrations and paintings. The various buildings are described , when they were built and their uses. The book also shows which parts are open to the public - mostly with free entry.
You could use this as a guide book as well as a momento of your actual visit.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great guide companion for one of the hidden gems of London
I live in London and work pretty close to the City, but I didn't know anything about Guildhall until I read this book. It covers it's colourful history as well as it's art, sculptures and architecture (which is quite significant). What's really useful is that this book is also a self guide if you want to actually visit Guildhall. It's very accessable. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is interested in learning more about the history of London and one of its often overlooked buildings.
