Introduction:
I am a natural story-teller and love bringing places to life with tales from recent and more distant past. Every beautiful place has secrets to tell…
There is so much we miss when we view the city and landscape. I’ll ensure you see London in a different light…
I take tours throughout the capital and also many beautiful sights in the surrounding area too such as Hampton Court Palace and Windsor.
I also guide our fabulous museums ... the British Museum with its world cultures ... the National Gallery - a feast for art lovers, or the V&A - truly one of the great museums of the world with sculpture, art, furniture. jewellery … the we list goes on!
Then there are buildings where history really does come to life... Westminster Abbey, Tower of London or how about a visit to the magnificent setting of Greenwich?
In winter months I also take online tours… http://www.virtualtourslondon.co.uk … was my answer to the pandemic. It was so popular that I am continuing to entertain online from home. If you are planning a visit to London then maybe you might like to consider a viewing before you come? Or maybe just join me because you are fascinated by so many aspects of London.
I have guided people from all sorts of backgrounds including children (I have an 10 year old son myself). I also work for corporate functions, tourist parties and individuals.
Whatever you would like to see I will do my utmost to ensure that you have an entertaining, hassle-free experience which will make the most of your time in London.
Please feel free to contact me.
