A Very Warm Hello! My name is Rosalind and I'd love to help you create some special memories of London. Having chosen to live here for over 30 years post University, I want to share my contagious enthusiasm for this amazing city with you. Whether you are interested in the 'big sights' or getting deeper under the skin, come with me to learn and be entertained and to go home with more than just photos. My tours are all on foot , but at times when it makes sense we jump on a bus or take a river boat. Walking is the best way to soak up the vibes of this city and you get to see so much more. I'd love to tell you of all my incredible experiences of watching the Queen's funeral from the front row on The Mall, waving at The King on the balcony of Buckingham Palace after his coronation or shaking Princess Diana's hand. I'd also love to share my knowledge of the history of London but don't worry ! I won't bore you with endless dry facts that you can read in a book. I will bring 2000 years of history to life through what we see and the stories I tell. As a mother of 3, I am very comfortable with family groups along with adult groups, couples or indeed individuals. We will go at your own pace, stop for refreshments if necessary and everyone will get involved. There is of course plenty of time for questions and chat and to hear first-hand about life for a Londonner. Honestly, I never bore of revealing London's secrets. I'd be delighted to help you make some wonderful memories of your time here. I look forward to welcoming you soon. Please get in touch!

Overview of your London tour

The place where royals party and hang-out, come and explore the glamour of Mayfair. We start on Piccadilly and head to the 'village' of Shepherd Market to be taken back in time with its little alleys and intimate feel. Then to the famous Punch Bowl pub once owned by Madonna and to see the most curious of all Mayfair houses, where a King once met his lover. Next we head to a stunning hidden garden before strolling along a street that boast upscale restaurants and shops - it's the classic Mayfair scene. We will see the magnificent Grosvenor Square once home to the American Embassy, and then nip along side streets to reach the wonderful pedestrianised South Moulton Street. Next we will go back in time again as we dip into Lancashire Court for its shops and restaurants before arriving at the high-end New and Old Bond Street . Here is a chance to marvel at exquisite shop displays and soak up the luxury of Mayfair. We will end in the stunning Burlington Aracade - the creme de la creme of shopping.

Rosalind was terrific … personable, extremely knowledgeable and caring. She geared her tour to our senior walking pace with lots of insight and behind the scenes tidbits about the various highlights. Lots to see in Mayfair in a relatively small area with easy walking on crowded streets and roads behind the mansions. Each stop included a memorable insider history lesson. We'll book with Rosalind when we return to London next year. Great value! Thanks, Rosalind!

Rosalind was just what I needed to save time and to expedite my shopping. She listened to what our needs were and was helpful in pointing us in the right direction. Hope to see you again on our next visit.
