Take a tour around the ancient Priory of the Knights Hospitallers with its Tudor Gate House, 16th century Church and 12th century Crypt. In more recent times, St. John Ambulance was founded here. The Museum of London brings the history of the city to life through its rich collections presented in fascinating reconstructions and displays.
