A really excellent tour. I’ve taken loads of walking tours in London but I learnt many new things from this one. Highly recommended.
LUCY : There's More To Moorgate
Just taken the tour during a short break in London. I was amazed that there was so much more to the area of Westminster than parliament. The commentary and directions were easy to understand and there were a lot of interesting facts and story's.

Lift door panel, Selfridges circa 1928
By the 1920s Selfridges was the most glamorous department store in London. American shopping magnate Gordon Selfridge had opened the Oxford Street store in 1909.
Selfridges initially employed young women to operate the store lifts but, after World War II, they were replaced by disabled ex-servicemen. This lift was removed during a refurbishment of the store in 1970-1972.
