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.

London is a big city, and we will maximize our time being chauffeured through London in a private, air-conditioned vehicle, allowing us to get from site to site quickly & comfortably. This tour will give an overview of the history of Jewish immigration to Britain and will give an insight into why this area was a centre of immigration for many different groups over the centuries. I have a particular passion for the area as my family settled here in the nineteenth century and I have gone on to research the area in detail. I have a doctorate in Jewish history and I have written a book about the area. Our tour will trace the steps of those that settled here, starting nearly 1, 000 years ago in today's City of London, the heart of the financial area, where you will hear about their lives in medieval times. And then, just a short distance away, we enter the Jewish East End which in recent years has become one of London's favourite and vibrant areas. A tour that combines a rich history with a contemporary feel.
