Alan Read
As a Londoner born and bred it is a great privilege to be able to show this astonishingly diverse and beautiful city to visitors and to Londoners who don't know how lucky they are to live here. However well you think you know London I will always aim to show you something new or tell you something you never knew before. My principal interests are the art collections and architecture of London. I guide regularly at Tate Modern, Tate Britain, the National Gallery and the Courtauld. I have a 1st class degree in History of Art and my dissertation was nominated for an Association of Art Historian's prize. But I believe that the reason you look at art is to enjoy it and deepen your appreciation of it, so my tours are as entertaining as they are informative.
