Introduction:
Janice loves sharing London with visitors guiding them on real and virtual walks and tours of famous landmark buildings (including Westminster Abbey, St Paul's Cathedral and The Tower of London) and the more quirky and lesser known areas (such as King's Cross regeneration, Shoreditch & Spitalfields, Bermondsey, Bloomsbury, Medical London history, Literary London, Sherlock Holmes, Detectives and Spies in Marylebone, Charles Dickens, Royal Regent's Park through to City Blitz walk ) throughout the capital.
Janice lives in central London and has worked in publishing, advertising, healthcare and tourism and is a Freeman of City of London, married in the City, now living in Marylebone. (West Central London) She worked with a wide range of medical and healthcare professionals for over 15 years as a Director of the Royal Society of Medicine and studied for the Society of Apothecaries' Diploma in the History of Medicine.
Because of her professional career Janice has developed a unique in depth knowledge in the history of medicine and this has been enhanced by living close to the Harley Street Medical area and previously near to London’s oldest existing hospital St Barts. As Janice has lived in different architectural areas of the Capital - from the 60s Brutalism of The Barbican, to 18C Georgian Marylebone she has developed architectural tours within these areas including the very latest 21C development of Kings Cross for work, study and living. Her professional career and personal experiences of living in central London means Janice can share her extensive knowledge and bring this to life in a vital and engaging way for visitors .
She is also a trustee of three charities - the Royal Medical Benevolent Fund, La Nuova Musica and the London Handel Festival.
