Jon Brahams
I have had a passion for London since I was 3 years old, when I was determined to be a taxi driver. Instead I am now a Blue Badge guide still in love with London's diversity and vibrancy. After two decades tour-managing throughout Europe, with both school and adult groups - and over a decade now as a Blue Badge Tourist Guide showing off my city to couples and families of all dimensions - I can relate to visitors of any age and nationality (and deal with any technical problems that might arise).
While at present my guiding qualifications are exclusively in English, I can communicate in most European languages and have travelled extensively myself - both of which can be very helpful to connect with a range of individuals, families and small groups.
I of course enjoy guiding in our great churches (Westminster Abbey, St Paul's), art galleries (The National Gallery is without equal) and naturally the Tower of London - as well as uncovering the secret back streets and hidden jewels that even most Londoners have yet to discover. Excursions to our most worthwhile out-of-London cities (especially Oxford, Stratford and Bath) are a regular and fabulous feature.
Music is a major theme for me; I specialise in Rock Tours of London. But with an unusually wide store of general knowledge and the willingness to research and prepare, I can turn my hand to most topics. Lately I have conducted tours themed around World War II, Sherlock Holmes, football stadiums, historic pubs of London, The Beatles, and London's Theatreland.
