I want you to enjoy London as much as I do... that means I'll adjust my tours to suit your needs and personalities. My aim is for you to have a wonderful experience of London.
As well as being a guide, I am a broadcast journalist and podcaster. My podcasts are about unusual sites around London that are off the beaten track. http://www.londonundone.org.uk
I will do tours on foot, using buses, taxis, tube and river boats or chauffeur driven cars to see London in the time that you have.
With two other Blue Badge Guides I also lead theatrical tours (a bit like street theatre) in London about women's history. Together we're bringing a different and exciting sort of guiding to the capital. http://www.womenonthewalk.co.uk
As well as being a Blue Badge Guide, I'm also City of London Guide Lecturer and a City of Westminster Guide Lecturer and I teach people how to be guides on the Westminster Guiding Course at the University of Westminster.
