Welcome to London. It's one of the wonders of the world and a very exciting place with something for everybody to enjoy. I'm a third generation Londoner and have been born and bred in the City. I'm a qualified City of London guide and have been leading many groups through the city. I love exploring together and each tour is different and everybody brings something new to the day. I've appeared on the US TV network NBC "Today" programme and spoken about what's available for visitors in London. I can run the tours described here or we can customise tours to meet your exact requirements. I've written a series of books "City of London guide books" available on Amazon which give a great background to the walks. I'm a specialist in the art, architecture, sights, eating and drinking places, churches, synagogues, mosques , gardens and history of the City of London and Whitechapel and lead regular walks in the area. I've written books about London's sights, literature and hotels, pubs and restaurants. I'm a graduate of Literature from Cambridge University and our walks are shot through with the history and characters of the city. I've worked in high tech for 40 years and been involved in the business side of the city. In short there's never a dull moment, come rain, wind or shine. I look forward to meeting you. I love to share the highways, byways and alleys of the city. On the walks we explore the key sights of the city, literary, historical background and of course some ancient pubs. Our walks are usually immersive with plenty of chances for everyone to get involved I have worked with the City of London Corporation, Greater London Authority, London Festival of Architecture, IT and Butchers' Livery companies, Circle Squared, Society of Authors, Baker McKenzie, London Unseen, Zyen and many other organisations arranging customised tours. I am a City of London certified guide and a ITG Green Guide. I run tours for the City of London. I also run tours for the Greater London Authority. Other organisations I work with are Circle Squared and Society of Authors. I am a graduate of Cambridge University with a literature degree. I've also a Computer Science qualifications. I do not have any kind of restrictions

The Romans occupied London for 365 years and have left over a million objects in the city. We'll walk around and explore some of the visible and some less visible things. We will see several parts of the amazing city walls, and the sites of temples, the basilica/forum, and an ampitheatre (dependent on opening times). Beneath the surface a lot remains of the Roman city and Londinium was a standard Roman city. There'll be a chance to explore Roman remnants underground and below the city. My book available on Amazon "A visitor's guide to Roman London" is great background reading for the walk. I've always had a passion for Roman history and attended classes at the City of London on the Roman legacy. Each month new finds are displayed. We'll look at all the very latest finds.
Among the places we'll see on the route are: * Roman Bath sites * Roman Temple site and museum * Roman ampitheatre site and museum * Roman Bastion * Roman walls in several location * Roman Basilica site * Roman Grave site * Roman Wall museum * Gardens around the Roman Walls
