Walking tours (Available now)
Designed for Year 11–13 student groups, university students and societies, and individuals visiting the city for the first time, Junior Trader walking tours provide a mobile introduction to share trading and financial markets, delivered through a 90 minute guided walk of historic locations in either the City of London or Manchester.
Each tour is led by a former Investment Bank Director and plc CEO, with over 16 years’ experience educating teenagers and young adults. These walks are not blue plaque guides. They are interactive, place-based lectures, using the city itself to explain how markets actually work.
Participants will gain an understanding of:
The origins of different financial markets
How markets evolved into modern regulation, digitisation, investment banking, and fund management
The role of infrastructure, technology, and information flow
How IT, AI, and changes to working practices may shape the future
The influence of major philanthropists and civic institutions
Both the City of London and Manchester tours use historic and modern settings to connect classroom learning with real world systems, helping students and visitors understand how cities, markets, and opportunity intersect.
Group size is up to 20 participants, with a minimum of one member of teaching staff per 10 students, unless all participants are adults.
