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.

I have walked these streets for most of my life. This is a city of millions of stories and memories like mine all woven with an invisible thread that makes London. It's not all about the sites. London is about its stories, about the characters in this country's history and their footprints we will be following through the streets of the capital.

I have put the Winston Churchil statue in Parliament Square. However, I would be fine picking you up near Harrods 15 mins before the tour is due to start so we dont lose time :)
