3-DAY BITCOIN LONDON TOUR & BITCOIN BANQUET
Get ready for a transformative, two-day immersive experience into the hidden treasures of two of the world's most influential square miles - the City of London and the Royal Borough of Greenwich, exploring some of the most powerful and interconnected themes shaping our world: law, finance, money, power, and time. This is your chance to engage with some of the most influential thinkers and trailblazers in the Bitcoin space whilst gaining rare insights into Bitcoin's potential and the expansive vision of its creator.
THE LONDON BLOCKCHAIN CONFERENCE
Then at the London Blockchain Conference at the Evolution Centre, Battersea Park, you will have direct access to the frontier of Bitcoin innovation, experiencing many exciting Bitcoin-based projects and meeting their visionary founders. From cutting-edge tech developments to bold ideas for investment, you’ll leave equipped with the knowledge and inspiration to participate meaningfully in this rapidly evolving space, whether seeking to deepen your understanding or take a more active role as innovator and investor.
DAY 1: City of London - Money and Power
We begin the day with breakfast at the iconic Battersea Power Station, once among the largest coal-fired power stations in the world in the 1930s, supplying a fifth of London’s electricity, including Buckingham Palace and the Houses of Parliament. From there we will take a boat trip down the River Thames past iconic landmarks such as the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben and MI6 building before docking in the enigmatic City of London - an ancient financial enclave with its own law, police force and ritual where even the monarch must seek permission to enter.
Here you can Expect an immersive exploration into the hidden architecture of global finance, as we navigate streets steeped in symbolism and secrecy. From the dragon statues guarding the city’s borders to the ruins of the Roman Mithraeum, the iconic Tower of London — once home to the Royal Mint and still guardian of the Crown Jewels — to the ancient Temple Church, headquarters of the Knights Templar and backdrop to the tense negotiations between King John and the barons that led to the sealing of Magna Carta. We'll also visit the Bank of England, Temple Bar and the Royal Exchange, revealing the foundations of modern banking and the enduring influence of hidden institutions.
In addition, you will enjoy spectacular views from the 17th century monument to the Great Fire of London, ingeniously designed to function as a zenith telescope by Sir Robert Hooke (known as England's Leonardo), descend into the subterranean gold vaults, famously featured in the 1964 "Goldfinger" and dine at historic locations frequented by some of the world’s most powerful figures.
DAY 2: Royal Greenwich - Time and Law
Once again, we travel down the Thames, this time extending our journey under Tower Bridge, a testament to Victorian engineering, and onward past Canary Wharf, now a towering symbol of Britain’s transformation from a trading empire to a financial superpower, enjoying spectacular views of historic London Docklands which, from 1600 onwards, served as the gateway to the British Empire.
Arriving at Greenwich, we board the Cutty Sark, once the fastest ship in the British fleet and a symbol of Britain's 19th century maritime dominance & trade, then proceed to the Royal Naval College to enjoy the magnificent Painted Hall, known as the 'British Sistine Chapel' — its grandeur captured in Skyfall and Sherlock Holmes — and continue to the Queen’s House to view the Queen Elizabeth I portrait, painted in 1588 to commemorate England's defeat of the Spanish Armada, packed with symbolism anticipating the birth of the British Empire.
At the National Maritime Museum, we will uncover the innovations that powered centuries of naval supremacy, discussing how the legal frameworks of the seas - admiralty and maritime law - became the foundation of our present world order and how Greenwich Mean Time became the invisible scaffold of international commerce, also visiting the Greenwich Meridian Line — the zero point of the world’s longitude system.
Lastly, we ascend to the Royal Observatory and the Altazimuth Pavilion, home to radical Enlightenment-era breakthroughs in astronomy and timekeeping. Throughout the day, we will enjoy the finest traditional cuisine at quintessentially English eateries.

Our adventure begins at the iconic Battersea Power Station before boarding a boat down River Thames, following the ancient waterway that once carried Roman invaders and medieval traders.
We disembark at Blackfriars and make our way to the legendary 12th Century Temple Church, spiritual home of the Knights Templar. Here Templar expert Colin McKenna will take us deep into the world of the Crusades, the rise of medieval banking, and the roots of the Magna Carta — revealing how the legacy of the Templars still shapes our ideas of sovereignty in the modern world.
From there, we step into the grandeur of Middle Temple Hall, one of London’s most exclusive and historic legal institutions. Beneath its vaulted oak roof — where Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night was first performed to Elizabeth 1— we gather for a Bitcoin-themed banquet: a lavish three-course meal served in the company of High Court judges.
Here we will be joined by Jacqueline Haigh, a world expert in ancient mystery cults, who will guide us into the esoteric undercurrents of this journey. We’ll uncover the hidden threads linking Shakespeare, initiation rites, and the sacred symbolism and conduct a pilgrimage to the British Museum, where we stand among the relics of Egypt’s mystical past. Jacqueline will help us decode the deeper meanings locked within these artefacts — drawing connections to the more esoteric and mythic aspects of Bitcoin.
