Overview of your London tour
Perhaps like me you've been researching your family history and it's turning up loads of surprises about your ancestors - that search may lead you to London and the south of England. There may be a need to follow in the footprints of ancestral relations - where they were born - where they went to school - where they grew up - where they worked - where they got married - where they were buried. If you are headed to London and its Home Counties then let me make the job easier for you! I am vastly experienced now with how it works with the wonderful world of discovering who we actually are because of our forebears - and as a tour guide and social historian I can take you back in time and paint a vivid picture of how things were for your ancestors. As a cabbie I also have the famous 'Knowledge of London' which will fast track our journey between visits - and a London Black Cab can utilise the capital's bus lanes for extra efficiency. Let me you help you successfully continue on the path back through your story!
Your London tour itinerary
Meet and Greet from your hotel or vacation residence. We shall follow a previously researched route and stops to take you back in time to rejoin your ancestors - whether by way of former homes, schools, workplaces, hospitals, places of worship or cemeteries. I would have prepared a schedule based on the information provided and allow for time over lunch for further discussion and reflection. Our day together will conclude back at your hotel - with the satisfaction of a successful day of family history discovery!
