Graeme Alfille-Cook

Welcome! It’s great to meet you!

I’d love to show you around London, this world class city that I am so proud to call my home. Come join the journey and read on!

I’ve got a passion for London. I’ve lived, worked and played in it for most of my life and never get bored of it! It’s such a great city. There’s so much to see that interests, excites, and inspires and above all, it’s such great fun!

If you want to visit London’s fabulous world-renowned sites I can help you. How about the Tower of London with its legendary black ravens, its Beefeaters and priceless Crown Jewels? Or there’s Westminster Abbey, the ancient coronation church where we celebrate, commemorate and crown our monarchs!

If you fancy something cultural, why not try the National Gallery in Trafalgar Square, right in the heart of London. Its many masterpieces include paintings from the Italian great Leonardo da Vinci to the famous impressionist artist, Claude Monet.

Perhaps you would like to explore the British Museum, with its awesome treasure trove of artefacts from across the world. You can get close to the Rosetta Stone, the key that unlocked the mysteries of ancient Egypt. Or be amazed by the splendour of the Sutton Hoo treasure hoard that shone through to the 20th Century from the Dark Ages!

Would you like to go further afield? There are many easily accessible options like Windsor Castle, the home of King Charles 3rd. Or maybe you’d prefer Hampton Court, where you can experience a magnificent 16th century Tudor palace made famous by Henry 8th and his many wives.

These are just a few of the options available to you amongst many other exciting visitor venues.

Working together we can tailor an itinerary to suit your preferences.

So, if you want to see London from a local’s perspective, please do get in touch. I’d be delighted to hear from you!
