Hello and welcome to London. I have been guiding in the UK, London and Europe for 10 years and I love my job. I pride myself on a passion for history and above all, the animation of its stories and a bespoke, immersive experience that makes a tour truly memorable. I try to make my tours experiences. I like to walk inside ruins, enter places not often visited or take to the top of Londons buildings for unrivalled views of London. I like to show my guests the secret London, the local London, the unusual facts of our famous landmarks and the best parts of this small green island I call my home. From traditional pubs to local markets, from the big sights to the most photogenic areas of the city I aim to avoid the crowds and get you to the best spots and to witness all the city has to offer. From London in a day to Stonehenge and the countryside, I pride myself in getting as much as possible into your valuable time at a pace that suits you. No matter which guide you choose, I wish you an enjoyable time in this great city.

This is Royal London: The Palaces, The Guards, the Coronation.
Overview of your London tour
Take a journey with me through 1000 years of monarchy and history that has woven the fabric of this small Island. See an Abbey that has stood since our noble line of Royals began. Walk amongst the footsteps of giants who forged our history from this small island I call home. This was the first tour I learned about more than a decade ago when I became a guide and it is my favourite. I love walking into old shops that have served the nobles of the land for centuries and passing through ancient hidden streets that feel like they have come from a period drama. Mixed in with the must-see sites in London this tour is great for those that want to see it all in half a day. For the changing of the guard, I will take you to the best locations to avoid the crowds and experience this must-see event in London. The foot guard change occurs on alternate days in the low season. Please check the dates before booking. The Horseguards change daily. The interiors of Westminster Abbey can be added to the tour if required.
