Hi everyone. I've been a professional tour guide (called Blue Badge Guide in London) for 30 years, so I know the city and its surroundings very well. If you enjoy art, history, architecture, religion and culture then I'm your man and I enjoy talking about other subjects too such as politics and movies and tv. Not much about sports though. On tours, we normally visit Westminster Abbey (burial place of the famous) or the Churchill War Rooms but if you'd rather do walking tours or visit the museums, the British museum being my specialty as I love ancient history or even just go shopping and have afternoon tea somewhere special then it's fine with me. I'm flexible. I'm there to make your time in London enjoyable and memorable. We can have a break coffee stops whenever you wish. There's no hurry even if we spend a little longer together . But I like to do detail and not rush so I only do two venues a day. There's plenty of history in London but my special subjects are Henry 8th and the Tudors, ancient history & early church history. Don't forget nearly all our museums are free. Almost everywhere I go free so there is no need to pay my entrance. Getting around by car in London is difficult because of parking and traffic. The underground, bus or taxi is preferable and walking is unavoidable in busy cities, but the amount of walking is up to you. Looking forward to meeting you. Qualified blue badge. I do not have a car and only use local transport

Visit the famous museum and the equivalent of Oxford university but in London
Overview of your London tour
After seeing the highlights of the museum where I've been guiding for 30years and still love, we'll visit the offices of Lincolns Inn and the Temple where barristers have their offices or Chambers in University like settings dating back to the 17th century. It's like being in either Oxford and Cambridge but with adults wearing gowns and wigs. It's one of the few places in London where you won't see tourists

Dana P.United States
What a great way to explore the British Museum. We had a wonderful time with Ed, who is extremely knowledgeable and very articulate. Highly recommended.
Ann P.United States
Ed was a fantastic tour guide! We knew visiting the British Museum would be a major challenge because there is so much to see. Ed selected highlights in the areas of greatest interest to us. We found him to be quite knowledgeable, friendly, enthusiastic and knew how to move us around the crowds as much as possible. We received so many benefits from our time with him, we booked him for two other tours while we were in London!
Harriet W.United States
Ed was informative, enthusiastic and flexible, adapting the tour to our group and allowing for the labor actions affecting the British Museum.
Kate E.United States
Ed was wonderful and we left the tour wishing it hadn't ended. We can't wait for our next tour with him. If you have an option to have Ed be your guide, take it! Don't think about it. Just do it.
