Hello, I’m Stan. Whether this is your first visit to London or your fifth, my aim is the same: to help the city make sense and feel personal. London is layered. Roman streets beneath financial towers. Royal ceremony beside political drama. Rock and roll in Soho. Markets that have fed the city for centuries. And occasionally a bit of wizarding fiction. I am a private historian and professional tour guide focusing on tours and experiencess to the British Museum, Westminster and Churchill’s wartime London, the Tower of London, the City and Roman London, Covent Garden, Soho, Borough Market, historic pubs, and movie-inspired tours like Harry Potter and others. Many guests begin with the British Museum, which becomes far clearer with structure and context. Others prefer Royal Westminster, the Blitz and Churchill, or the Roman and medieval foundations of the City. Some want music history and rock and roll in Soho. Others want a thoughtful overview that connects everything. I work privately because conversation matters. I guide couples, families, and small groups at a civilised pace. Some days are reflective and measured. Others are energetic and spontaneous. I adapt naturally to your curiosity and rhythm. I am serious about history, but not solemn about it. If you tell me what kind of London you would enjoy, we will build it together. Stan Academic • MSc European History; • PhD Political Economy; • MBA Brand Management.

Overview of your London tour

Join me on a private walking tour into the heart of London's Roman history, perfect for archaeology enthusiasts. For 365 years, the Romans left their mark on London, scattering over a million artifacts across the city. Together, we'll uncover both the visible and the more elusive remnants of this ancient civilization. Marvel at the expansive city walls, the sites of temples, a basilica/forum, and an amphitheater, all dependent on opening times. Beneath the city streets lies a hidden layer of Londinium's Roman past, waiting to be explored. My passion for Roman history, enriched by studies in the City of London, guides our journey into this fascinating era. As we navigate the city, each step reveals another piece of the Roman legacy, constantly illuminated by recent archaeological discoveries. We'll delve into underground ruins and historic landmarks, seamlessly using public transport, to connect with London's ancient roots and its ongoing story of discovery.
