Two-hour private 'East India Company' walking tour
Explore East India Company sites and history with former St Helena Governor Lisa Honan. Learn how their influence transformed global trade and their governance over 300 million people in India.
Tour from Monument to the Great Fire of London to The Royal Exchange, with optional refreshment stop.
Join Lisa on a fascinating tour of the City of London, discovering the places linked to the East India Company. The Company of adventure merchants - some might say the Pirates of the Indian Ocean - was the world’s largest multinational company and the architects of Empire. It changed what we ate, drank and wore. We will start our story in 1600 and finish in present day. This walking tour gives a unique insight to the East India Company. As a Governor of St Helena between 2016 - 2019, Lisa was fortunate to live on an island which the EIC owned until 1854. Lisa Honan was the first, and so far, only woman Governor of St Helena in 500 years of St Helena’s history.
