Geoffrey Levett
I am an enthusiastic guide who loves London. I want to help people make the most of our city during their time here, whether visitors or residents. I have lived and worked in London all my adult life, first as a broker in the City and latterly in the hospitality industry, where I have gained plenty of hands on experience with groups and their needs.
I'm a historian, specialising in the history of Britain and its Empire in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries but also researching and writing on interwar France. I've taught to undergrad level but relish anecdotes and obscure byways. I like to think that I have a guiding style that is relaxed, informative and entertaining.
I have a keen interest in art, being a member of most of the large galleries and museums (Tate, Royal Academy, British Museum, National Gallery) and would be very happy to organise tours on specialised themes. I'm also a great theatre-goer and have written and produced plays myself over the last few years.
If you want a flavour of what I offer each November I offer a themed walking tour for charity. Previously year's walks have included a 60s tour of Chelsea, pre-Fire London, and Blitz tours of the East and West Ends.
