Introduction:
Working in the Tower of London for over 5 years, I have in depth knowledge on British History, the Royal Family and London. I am very passionate about Art, Literature, History, Food and Shopping.
My unique point is that I am member of many desirable members only clubs, and I can show my clients how the Londoners live and have fun. I know popular places which are very Instagrammable, quirky and opulent boutique shops, fine dining and lush 'it' places one should experience on their visit in London.
Can show London as indulgent city as it is and not just a city full of great art and heritage. As this is life I am so lucky have experienced, my clients will not feel like guided and be part of London's stylish life.
I hold Blue Badges and combining with my Masters in Museum Studies, I have expertise in many of the London sites that are popular and Kensington Palace, Tower of London, Banqueting House, Wallace Collection, Sir John Soane Museum.
I give art and design tours of all the major art galleries such as the British Museum, V&A and Wallace Collection. I can also guide in out of town sites such as Windsor Castle, Canterbury Cathedral, Salisbury and Bath.
I offer corporate tours as part of their social programs, and tailored tours for families and couples different interests and enthusiasms.
I am young, energetic, full of life and friendly.
