Introduction:
London is so vibrant! There is so much to see and do - from touring the magnificent Royal palaces and the pomp and pageantry that goes with it - to delving into our fascinating museums ... the British Museum with its world cultures ... and the National Gallery and the V&A - both a feast for art lovers, or the National Portrait Gallery to view so many characters from history.
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?
The streets of the London also have many tales to tell... with fascinating characters, stories of scandal, innovation and talent. I would love to take you on a stroll through various sections of the city..... we can discover some hidden corners together.
Should you wish to get out of the city and visit Stonehenge, Bath, Stratford etc. then I can guide here too and if necessary I can also assist with hiring transport - this often works well for families and small groups.
I have worked with people from all types of backgrounds including children (I have a 6 year old son myself). I 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 here in the UK.
Please feel free to contact me.
