I am a professional Blue Badge Tour Guide qualified to guide throughout the whole of London and South East England providing quality private tours customized to what you want to see and do. As a holder of the coveted Blue Badge, I am one of the privileged few permitted to guide within the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, Canterbury Cathedral, Windsor Castle and many other historic royal palaces. My specialties include London highlights - just right for first timers in the capital, and for those returning to London, the hidden gems. My personal favourites include Tudor Royalty in South East England especially the life and times of King Henry VIII from Hampton Court Palace to Hever Castle; Canterbury and its cathedral, shore excursions from Dover and the glorious gardens of England. It's the region's social history that really excites me - how people lived in earlier times, the land and cityscapes they developed and the contrasts with today's lifestyles. Bringing these to life is a passion and a privilege. I have combined my earlier career experiences with my best-loved interests to present the delights of the region in an entertaining & informative style.

Customised Private Chauffeured Garden Tours
Overview of your London tour
Many excellent gardens are within easy reach of London; the neighbouring county of Kent is not known as the Garden of England for nothing! Take time out of London to visit Vita Sackville West's White Garden at Sissinghurst and pair this with the riot of colour at Christopher Lloyd's Great Dixter. From spectacular azaleas to roses in June, followed by deep perennial borders, the delights go on and on……. . Just tell me when you plan to tour and I will recommend gardens at their best for you to enjoy. Many of the great gardens have historic houses to explore and enjoy such as Hever Castle, Leeds Castle or for the more modest family home Sir Winston Churchill's Chartwell. This is a bespoke tour, the final tour price may differ from that advertised. Smaller cottage gardens are also open for viewing at differing times of the year.
Your London tour itinerary
You will be met at your hotel or apartment and driven to your choice of gardens. We will have as much time as you like time to stroll through the gardens, the itineraries are planned so that the day unfolds at the pace you want. Within the day there will be the opportunity to stop at an English pub for lunch. Finally, you will be returned to your hotel or apartment.
