Caroline Bowkley

Bonjour! I’m Caroline, a bilingual (French and English) London Blue Badge Tourist Guide, with a love for history, art, and architecture—and for sharing London’s stories in ways that bring the city to life.

Before becoming a guide, I built a career in accountancy and finance lecturing, which honed my skills in storytelling, public speaking,  research and connecting with people. Guiding felt like a natural next step: it combines my passions for art, history, and people into one unforgettable experience.

I grew up in France and England, moving between cultures, which gave me an appreciation for London’s international spirit. Today, I enjoy guiding in both languages, helping visitors from all over the world feel at home here.

London is a city I never tire of exploring. I love leading visitors through its iconic landmarks—from Westminster Abbey and the Tower of London to St Paul’s Cathedral—as well as its world-class museums: the British Museum, the National Gallery, the V&A, the Courtauld, Tate Britain, and Tate Modern. With my love for art, I particularly enjoy revealing the human stories behind the masterpieces.

But my tours aren’t limited to the “big names.” I relish uncovering London’s hidden corners: tucked-away alleys in the City, royal parks steeped in history, vibrant neighbourhoods like Soho and Southwark. Further afield, I guide day trips to Oxford, Bath, Salisbury, Windsor, and to historic gardens and castles across the English countryside. With over 2,000 years of history, London can feel overwhelming—but that’s where I come in.

Fully trained, insured, and professionally qualified, I aim to make the city accessible, welcoming, and unforgettable—whether it’s your first visit or your twentieth. I’m flexible and happy to tailor any itinerary to your interests and pace. My goal is always the same: to ensure you leave not just with photographs, but with stories and memories to treasure.
