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
