Hi, I'm Peter - Let me show you one of the best and most diverse cities in the world! I grew up in London's multi-cultural east end and spent most of my youth as an amateur boxer which meant I was lucky enough to travel and compete abroad regularly. During this time, I lived in the USA receiving a warm welcome and great hospitality wherever I went. This is something I really value, and something I enjoy giving whilst sharing my love of London. In 1994, I completed the 'Knowledge' of London and became a London Taxi Driver, and later a London Taxi Tour Guide. I offer tours both in and out of the taxi with so much of London to be appreciated on foot! I am passionate about London's History, Culture and Architecture. My Traditional Tours offer something for everyone with interesting and fun facts supporting the classic sights of London. I once gave a tour to a family with four generations ages 9, 13, 17, 50 and 90! I enjoy popular culture In London from the 1960s and 1970s. I have an association with Liverpool, another great cultural city and birthplace to 'The Beatles'. I am the only London Beatles Tour guide vetted by Liverpool's famous Cavern Club. The Victorian era in London particularly interests me as you will notice from my Sherlock Holmes and Watson Tour! The Traditional, Beatles and Sherlock Holmes Tours are ready to book please check them out - there is plenty of choice! I also offer a Bespoke Tour service to cater for your particular interests and allow for combinations of tours. For example, we can combine themes from the published tours and there is an endless list of other themes to choose from. Listed below are ideas: •Maritime and Voyages of Discovery •Architecture and Engineering •Religion •Heritage •LGBTQ+ •Art and Performing Art •Pubs and Clubs •Tea, Coffee and Sugar History •The open air and green spaces to be enjoyed in London's parks, hidden nature reserves and city farms If you'd like to build a bespoke tour please provide me with details including a list of the themes that interest you, how long you'd like the tour, and where you would like the tour to start (e. g. hotel or train station). Thank you for reading and I hope to hear from you soon! - London Taxi Driver - London Taxi Tour Guide - Advanced Boxing Coach - Level 1 Athletics Coach I am not a Blue Badge Guide. If your tour includes visits to historical monuments such as Tower of London, St. Paul's Cathedral, Westminster Abbey, I can accompany you but cannot guide you inside them.

Peter is a very enthusiastic tour guide and will keep you engaged with lots of history and knowledge of all things London. He took us to some amazing spots that we never would have known about. Very pleased with Peter and would recommend!

Peter provided a personal walking tour of London's Westminster that you simply cannot get with an organized group tour. He thoroughly explained how royalty and government developed Westminster while hitting all the key spots and avoiding the crowds where possible. He also tailored the tour to our U.S. nationality by highlighting spots relevant to colonization, the American Revolution, and the World Wars. Add to that a bit of SOHO music history. All along the way, Peter weaved in interesting facts and relationships that you never learned in History classes. Also, he took great photos and followed up with links to everything we visited so that we could revisit the significance of the places toured.

Peter did a wonderful job telling us all kind of fascinating stories of this remarkable city! He takes you off the beaten path and shares history that you haven’t heard of before! Great start to our trip!

Peter has a very through knowledge of the history of London and took me places in London I would never have found on my own.

Peter is an OUTSTANDING Tour Guide. I don't think anyone in London knows the city like he does. Not your average "TOURISTY" tour - which was exactly what we wanted. He took us literally everywhere no one knows about, and then some! Bonus - he took pictures of us at every stop and send links to us t read more (as it's so easy to forget everything). Peter MADE our London experience AMAZING! We will definitely use him again next visit!
