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.

Overview of your London tour

This tour will give an overview of the history of the Jewish immigration to Britain and will also 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 have written a book on the area. In recent years the area has been regenerated and it has become one of London's favourite and most vibrant areas. We will be walking through Spitalfields market with its vintage and antique clothing, fashion and other wondrous oddments. A tour that combines a rich history and a contemporary feel.
