I have a great passion for the city and my joy is to share my knowledge of traditional London as well as the secret parts of the city in a light-hearted and friendly way. My training as a counsellor and drama therapist has given me the skills to engage with people of all ages and abilities and I am empathetic and flexible to people's needs. I am also a professional blue badge tourist guide. Only one day in London? I would love to have the opportunity to show you the main highlights in a day or half day together with some more offbeat areas. London has welcomed people from all over the world and I have a particular interest in the many diverse communities that have made their home here. I specialize in Jewish London (I have written a PhD and a book on the history of the area) and walks around the old Jewish East End and in the quiet moments when not guiding I am indulging in another passion -- going to all the latest theatre, films and exhibitions. - London Blue Badge Tourist Guide - City of Westminster Guide - City of London Guide I am not a driver guide. I will guide using public transport.

I have created this tour to give a first time visitor a true immersion into this wonderful city and to see most of the famous sites in one day. The morning walking tour will include Buckingham Palace and the Westminster Abbey before embarking by riverboat to the Tower of London to see the Crown jewels and hear the stories of great intrigue. We will then walk over to the South Bank and pass by Borough Market, a must for food lovers. Walking along the South Bank is what I love to do whenever I have free time and is a top favourite for many Londoners. This tour gives me the opportunity, as an academic social historian, not only to share my passion for the city's history as we walk through the centuries but also to give you a sense of life in London today.
During this tour we will be visiting: - Piccadilly Circus - Buckingham Palace - Westminster Abbey - Houses of Parliament - Tower of London - Tower Bridge - Borough Market - The Globe Theatre - Tate Modern This tour as a whole or partially, can be customized to fit your preferences - please inquire! The morning tour is approximately 2. 5 hours. The riverboat journey is half an hour and there will be a lunch break before continuing the rest of the tour. All sites are viewed from the outside apart from the Tower of London. This tour, as a whole or partially, can be customised to suit your preferences. I want to make it your special day.
