"In London everyone is different and that means anyone can fit in. " (Paddington Bear) Hello my name is Charlotte, or Lotty and I'd love to show you around London and beyond. I love storytelling and the way it moves, engages and excites, connecting people and places with history. London is a two thousand year old history book, jam packed full of tales. Stories of disaster and devastation - fires, bombs, plagues and destruction, yet it rises time and time again, still standing as the most forward thinking, dynamic, multicultural city in the world! Bursting with parks and palaces, museums and art galleries, shopping destinations and best of all, the epitome of pomp and circumstance! Together let's plan a day seeing all the places you might recognise from books or screen, let me bring to life the people and places where the action took place. - I am a qualified London blue badge tour guide, studying for two years at university level and completing and passing a comprehensive series of written and practical exams. - BA (Hons) Acting - first class honours - Drama teacher I am not a driver guide. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.
