Starting on the Northern side of the Thames River, at the Sugar Quay Jetty near the Tower of London. We then make your way through The Square Mile Financial District, finishing the tour at the NLA (within The London Centre). Entry is free and you can read lots of information along with scale models of London City you can view at your leisure at the end of the tour. The tour takes approximately 2 hours, but I would allow another 15-30 minutes at the end for the NLA.
IMPORTANT NOTE: NLA is open Tuesday to Saturday, until 17:00 (therefore Sunday, Monday & evening tours will unfortunately not be able to enter).
