Overview

There are now fourteen dragon boundary marks around the City of London and we will be passing all of them in this circumnavigation of the City.

Starting from London Bridge we will head in a clockwise direction to Blackfriars Bridge to bag our first dragon. Then along the Embankment to see the two original Coal Exchange dragons. We will stop for lunch near the Barbican and as this is a short walk there will be time to explore the area.

After lunch we will head to the east via Liverpool Street and Tower Hill, before crossing back across the Thames and returning to London Bridge.
