Genevieve Cooper
Hello! I’m Genevieve, a London-based Blue Badge Tourist Guide.
I would love to accompany you as your knowledgeable local friend as you explore London.
I can take you on tours of some of London’s greatest sites including the National Gallery, the British Museum, the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey and St Paul’s Cathedral.
We can visit hot spots and hidden corners and walk in the footsteps of ordinary and extraordinary Londoners. So many interesting people have called London home over the centuries and there's a prompt for a story around every corner!
I can also take you out of the centre of town to visit Maritime Greenwich or Hampton Court Palace. Or we can do a day trip even further afield to Bath, Canterbury, Oxford, Salisbury, Stratford upon Avon, or Windsor.
I bring both an insider perspective and an outsider one as I have lived in London for over 20 years - working, volunteering and raising my 3 children here - but I was born and raised in Canada. I studied English Literature in Kingston, Canada (I love a good story) and Library and Information Science in Chicago, USA (I love a solid source of information). I’ve also lived and travelled extensively in South America.
“London is a roost for every bird”, Benjamin Disraeli wrote in 1870. I think he meant that there’s a place for everyone in London and that is still true today. With its huge range of sites (museums, galleries, palaces, parks and squares, monuments, riverside views, markets, restaurants and shops), areas (the City of London, the East End, the West End, Bloomsbury, Notting Hill, Chelsea etc.) and events (arts, culture, music, theatre, sports and more) you can find your happy place here - and I’d be delighted to help you.
