Hello, I'm Jenny and I would love to share with you my knowledge and passion for the City of London.

Built on the footprint of the Old Roman wall, there has been a City here for 2000 years! It is called the Square Mile because of this footprint and it is packed with history, amazing buildings both old and new and many quirky facts.

Let me show you the well known parts and the less well known - and some of the hidden and secret pockets of the City that you would never know were there.

As a professional actor, I love telling a story and communicating the City's rich history to people in the most interesting and fun way. I won't bombard you with dates but I will tell you the stories of the people behind the amazing places we will visit - I will tell you the stories of ordinary Londoners who lost their lives whilst saving the life of someone else- often a complete stranger. Let me introduce you to the men who made sure that Shakespeare's work was saved for all to enjoy - it is 400 years since Shakespeare's first Folio was published. Let me tell you about three times elected Lord Mayor whose legacy is still doing good and helping people 600 years on from his death in 1423. The City is a world class financial district and I will tell you how this came to be and I will take you to the place where the first cup of coffee was sold in the City of London and These coffee shops lay the foundations for the Financial Services of the City of London and were hugely influential in shaping the City into the World class Financial centre that it is today.

There are so many wonderful buildings and people whose lives have shaped the City of London and I would love to walk you around the City and introduce you to some of these amazing places.

My interests are people, acting, communicating, music and literature.

I also love devising bespoke tours for people - so if you have a particular interest in the City then contact me and I will devise a walk around your particular interests! I am looking forward to meeting you.

Tower of London, Ghosts, Gallows and Gruesome Tales.


Let me introduce you to the oldest part of London - The City.
Founded by the Romans in 43AD  the City is 2000 years old and is the world's top financial centre. The 'Square Mile' is tiny but is packed with history and  I will lead you around twisting lanes to uncover  the City's hidden (and some not so hidden) secrets!

A Wren church, Leadenhall Market, some of the old cobbled medieval Lanes to get a feel of what London would have been like in the Middle Ages . Hear about the devastating Great Fire of 1666, visit a haunted Monastery, learn about the Royal Exchange - built in 1571 as London’s first trading floor, the Bank of England and Mansion House where the Lord Mayor of London lives with their family for one year after being elected. Guildhall Yard  - a place of Ceremony and Governance. The famous trials of  Sir Thomas More and Lady Jane Grey happened here. We end in a secret garden where you will get the best view of St Paul’s Cathedral. 
The Tour lasts 2 - 2.5 hours if that suits.

Highlights of the City of London - a Walking Tour

Did you know that the City of London is 2000 years old?

Founded by the Romans in 43AD it is now the world's top financial centre. The 'Square Mile' (its actually 1. 12 miles!) is tiny but is packed with history and as your guide I will lead you around twisting lanes and alleys and uncover all the City's hidden (and some not so hidden) secrets!

I am passionate about history of the City of London and on this Tour I will take you to a ghostly Monastery which is the burial site of 3 Queens, and a woman who murdered her 2 husbands. It is said they occasionally walk the grounds at night. .

We'll visit a church that dates back to 670AD, a large piece of the Roman Wall, a park with a moving memorial to heroic human sacrifice and I'll tell stories of some of these heroic deeds, Smithfield Market- a place for jousting, a horse market, executions and 'Wife selling'- it sits next to the oldest working hospital of St Barts which is 900 years old, Guildhall Yard, & 2 houses that survived the Great Fire in 1666.
