Benjamin Jacobs

Welcome to London! I am a qualified London Blue Badge Tourist Guide who has worked in the tourism sector in England for a number of years.

As a born and bred Londoner, it would be my privilege to take you on a journey through the city, visiting some of its iconic sites such as Westminster Abbey, the site of the Royal Wedding in 2011 of Prince William and Catherine Middleton, or the Tower of London where you can see the Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom and explore history dating back 1000 years!

We can also discover London by foot and visit world famous places such as Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square, Parliament Square and Tower Bridge.

If you are a sports fan, we can also arrange a visit to some of London's major sporting venues such as Wembley Stadium, the Emirates Stadium (Arsenal), Stamford Bridge (Chelsea) and more. I have an additional background working in major sports venues as an accredited tour guide at Chelsea Football Club (Stamford Bridge), as well as a contributor in the field of sports journalism.

If you are a Ted Lasso fan I'd be delighted to show you some of the filming locations on a tour in London.

As a father of two children, I also enjoy working with families and can introduce you to and show you some of London's best places for children to visit such as the Natural History Museum, the Science Museum and Hamleys toy store!

Finally, if you would like to travel outside of London, we can discover wonderful cities and sites such as Stonehenge, Windsor, Bath, Stratford-upon-Avon, Canterbury and more.

Follow me on my social media accounts to see some terrific photos that I have taken on my travels of London and other sights across England!

Below are a few reviews from Viator and TripAdvisor from some of my recent tours:

A must-see Tour

Jodi_S, Mar 2026
"What a fabulous tour, with an equally fabulous guide, Ben. The entire site and what we learned is so much more than we ever imagined. Well worth your time and investment."

Tower of London w/Ben

Nancy_T, Mar 2026
"Ben was a wonderful guide. Informative and very funny. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Highly recommend!"

Excellent VIP Early Access Tour with Opening Ceremony and Early access to Crown Jewels.

Sept 2025
"My husband and I loved our VIP Early Access tour with Ben. We were in a small group of 19 people and Ben was very entertaining and an excellent guide. We were able to witness the opening ceremony and got into the Tower before the general crowd. He also made sure we got into see the Crown Jewels before the crowds. I would highly suggest this tour to anyone!"
