Helena McColl

Having lived in London for over 10 years I know that London is a city of stories. I previously trained as an actress at the former Drama Centre London and I can bring to life the richness of London. As a qualified Blue Badge Guide, I offer expertly curated tours that go beyond the typical tourist experience.
Whether you're fascinated by royal history, world-class art, hidden gems, or London’s vibrant fashion scene, my tours are designed to immerse you in the city’s rich past and dynamic present London.
I can tailor for any love of design & craft that you have with a tour of the Victoria & Albert Museum. If Art is your passion, London is spoilt for choice with art galleries and I love to guide at the Tate Britain and the National Gallery. For more off the beaten track but a great celebration of British artists and figures throughout the centuries, I would highly recommend a tour of the Tate Britain and the National Portrait Gallery.
In my spare time, if I am not in a gallery or at an exhibition I love to shop. London is saturated with British & global designers, unique boutiques and the best selection vintage fashion - I am happy to share my secrets with you!
Let’s explore together, beyond the guidebooks and into the heart of London
If you want a day to escape from London, I am happy to explore Windsor Castle, Stonehenge & Oxford with you.
