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.

A Christmas lights tour of London
Overview of your London tour
Every Christmas my mother would bring me into London to see the window displays and the lights of London at Christmas. It was a magical experience I Will never forget. With the crowds doing last minute shopping and a seasonal energy descends on London for the festive period. The nights draw in and it gets colder, but London turns on the charm at Christmas and it is one of the most magical cities in Europe when it comes to putting on a show. The history of Christmas in London stretches back centuries was popularised by writers such as Dickens who was responsible for turning it into such a festive holiday. We will visit the most famous Christmas lights in London along with the best window displays London has in 3 hours covering the best that the city has to offer including its Christmas Markets, world famous window displays and its most iconic stores unique to this City. If you would like to do the tour in a vehicle please enquire.

Meeting location

I would suggest a central London location depending on where you are. By the Swiss clock and the lego store in Leicester Square is a good meeting point.
- You can request a different meeting location (for example, your hotel) during the checkout process.
