Hello and welcome to London. I have been guiding in the UK, London and Europe for 10 years and I love my job. I pride myself on a passion for history and above all, the animation of its stories and a bespoke, immersive experience that makes a tour truly memorable. I try to make my tours experiences. I like to walk inside ruins, enter places not often visited or take to the top of Londons buildings for unrivalled views of London. I like to show my guests the secret London, the local London, the unusual facts of our famous landmarks and the best parts of this small green island I call my home. From traditional pubs to local markets, from the big sights to the most photogenic areas of the city I aim to avoid the crowds and get you to the best spots and to witness all the city has to offer. From London in a day to Stonehenge and the countryside, I pride myself in getting as much as possible into your valuable time at a pace that suits you. No matter which guide you choose, I wish you an enjoyable time in this great city.

Overview of your London tour

Churchill was one of our greatest prime ministers and guided us through some of the darkest hours of British history. the world would not be the same were it for this one man. He fought in the trenches in World War 1, commanded the navy and was instrumental in creating the Royal Air force and developing the tank to name a few. To edit a line of his I would say that never in the field of human conflict has so much been owed by so many to this man. My father met Winston Churchill as a young boy and attended his funeral. He kept the 43 Books Churchill wrote in the study in our house and although I only read half of them. It is where I picked up a fascination with his life. This tour will weave through his history in Westminster and his journey from Soldier to master Statesman. We will visit locations frequented by Churchill from where he worked to where he lived before finishing our tour at the War Rooms where you have the option to enter to visit the famous wartime bunker under Whitehall.

Nicholas is a wonderful guide! He is very knowledgeable about all things Churchill and has fascinating personal family stories to share. Of course the Churchill War Rooms can be seen with an audio guide but nothing can replace the experience of walking through it with a professional guide, especially with Nicholas. He managed to get us near Westminster Abbey after seeing the War Rooms and we caught a glimpse of the Royal Family members in cars as they made their way to the Abbey for the VE Day services. I highly recommend Nicholas for any sightseeing needs in London and beyond. He went above and beyond for us and made for a very enjoyable day!

Nicholas was a remarkable tour guide, one of the best we have had. He did a fantastic job of weaving in intimate details and information that only a multi-generational Londoner would know, with key city landmarks. Nicholas is a consummate professional who handles our group with warmth and kindness. He is so incredibly knowledgeable and his facts all checked out - you can be sure your are getting the truth. I would happily schedule another tour with him on a future visit.

This was a very informative experience and perfect for the members pf our group that have a special interest in in the history of WWII. Nick P. is very knowledgeable and was able to help us understand the events that took place and are frozen in time in the war rooms. He is very good at highlighting and explaining the crucial points of interest in Churchill's life exhibited at the Museum, without making you feel like you are missing out as you pass other installations. This tour is excellent.

Nicholas was great! He tailored the tour perfect to the needs of my kids of 10 and 15 years. They enjoyed his way of explaining it. He told us so much little details and we got a good overview of Churchill and of the center of London. We can highly recommend him.

My granddaughter and I enjoyed our tour with Nicholas P. He was knowledgeable, very personable and made touring London a wonderful experience for a 15 year old and an 80 year old. If I return I would use him. I would also recommend him to anyone. Esta Grollman

Nicholas is both knowledgable and a thoroughly delightful guide. He took us through some of the less-traveled streets and squares which we would never have discovered for ourselves. He was responsive and thorough in his communications and prompt in meeting us. I highly recommend spending time with him!
