Book TourI came to London after graduating with a law degree and have worked here for many years in global professional services firms. Now, as a prize-winning London Blue Badge tourist guide, I delight in sharing my love and deep knowledge of the city with those who want to learn its history and secrets and with those who just want to enjoy the best of what it has to offer.

'London, my home since 1985 and one of the great cities of the world, is quite simply the one city which I have come to love more and more over the years. Every chapter in London’s history, ancient or modern, is still there to be read in the London you see today: you just have to know where to look.
London is a city best enjoyed on foot. Whatever your interests, my walking tours will aim to offer something to amaze, inspire and entertain.
My own interests are eclectic, ranging from art through history, music, fashion and textiles to food and dining, science, sport and urban regeneration.
Join me and let my love of London develop yours.
