| Singing the City
Celebrate the 'Sing London' festival by bringing your voices to a City of London walk that features both religious and secular historical sites and songs that relate to them. Some of the songs go back hundreds of years, some are more modern, but they all have one thing in common - they're easy to sing and they reveal the past. No solos, it's all about singing together to make a great sound, whether you think you can sing or not (you can!). Walk leader is Cwti Green, a qualified City of London guide who also runs singing workshops.

| Hidden treasures 2
Discover some of the City of London's many hidden treasures. Some are hard to access, some have been forgotten, some are in view but very few people know about their significance. On this walk, we cover various sites which people seldom notice - from Victorian paintings in a restaurant to Norman arches under a church, the subterranean remains of a debtor's prison and houses built just after the Great Fire.

| The Big Dig at Museum of London Docklands
London's long and turbulent past is right under your feet. And this summer Museum of London Docklands will be digging it up as we celebrate a summer of archaeology with The Big Dig, a specially designed family experience which runs from 11 July and 6 September 2009.
Wannabe Indiana Joneses will be kitted up with a hard hat and trowel and get to search for genuine artefacts and remains in their own trenches, just like real archaeologists! Our experts will be on hand to show them how to record, analyse, identify and interpret finds, which all form a vital part of a bigger puzzle. Participants will then down tools and see how their discoveries give us evidence of ancient buildings. Piece by piece the fascinating world of early Londoners will be uncovered.
20 Sessions per day lasting for 1 hour starting from 10.05am last session 5pm. Please ask for details when booking.
