Follow the City's Silver Trail

Buried Treasure: Silver in the City is a new guided walk discovering the City's links to the story of silver from the Romans to the 20th century. The new Walk has been sponsored by the London Silver Vaults as part of the Celebrate the City event running from next Thursday 21 June until Sunday. The first Walk will start at 2pm Thurday 21 June 2012 and at the same time Friday. Saturday and Sunday the walk starts at 10am. Meet at Chancery Lane Tube. You will end the walk at the London Silver Vaults about an hour later, where you can see an exhibition of 20th Century Modernist silver called Post War Winners. The guided walk is free but you do need to book. Book here on the Celebrate the City website. The Vaults are closed on Sundays. Over the course of these four very special days (21 – 24 June), thousands of people will be given the keys to the City of London, as the Square Mile opens its doors to reveal many of its secrets and treasures. It's your chance to enjoy the freedom of the City of London - and a unique opportunity to find out why the Square Mile is not as square as you might think! Launching on Midsummer Day (21 June) with Tchaikovsky’s thunderous 1812 Overture performed in Guildhall Yard by musicians from Guildhall School of Music & Drama, Celebrate the City events – most of which are free-of charge - will include glittering exhibitions, City walks and talks, Livery Hall openings, family entertainment at the Cheapside Fayre, activities at the Barbican Centre and Museum of London, and music in many of the City’s churches. Celebrate the City is a joint collaboration between the City’s arts partners, attractions, livery companies, churches, retail and hotels. It is promoted by the City of London Corporation and the Diocese of London with generous support from the City Bridge Trust.
