Chris O'Donnell
I am a fully qualified Blue Badge Guide in London, and also hold the Green Badge for the City of London. I provide fun, entertaining and captivating tours of Westminster Abbey, the Tower of London, St Paul's Cathedral and the British Museum.
I have also designed walks in the West End, Soho, around the bloody history of Smithfield, the dark and famous allies of the City and across the bawdy backstory of the South Bank. I am happy to receive private commissions and am currently working on a Slavery Walk in the City to explain the role of the transatlantic slave trade in the City's development.
I write occasional columns for City AM and have developed a range of social media devices to help market the Tour Guide profession and find new audiences. I have attached a link to a couple of them here, so you get an idea as to my Guiding style – relaxed, with the emphasis on engagement and entertainment.
In my spare time, I love wandering London listening to podcasts. My daughters and I ae long suffering Blackburn Roves fans, but we have magnificent days out.
