Laurie Castelli
Hello! I am an award winning London Blue Badge Tourist Guide specialising in art tours, museum tours, cultural and spiritual walking tours across London.
After graduating from Oxford University I spent 30 years in the creative industries including, as a photographer and filmmaker. I like to combine a photographer and storyteller's eye when it comes to guiding the great city that is London, focusing on storytelling and the details most visitors overlook.
I love to guide at the National Gallery, Tate Britain, National Portrait Gallery, The V&A, and other great art spaces. I also lead expert tours of the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, St Paul’s Cathedral, the City of London, and Royal Greenwich and other Royal palaces. When I graduated I was the joint winner of the best site presentation award.
In addition to English, I am able to guide in Spanish. I am known for the enthusiasm and passion that I bring to guiding. To guide is to see London's heritage, creativity and splendour from the point of view of you, the vistor.
Apart from photography and film, I am also passionate about London’s living Christian spiritual heritage. I lead a special 'Sacred London' tour that provides an opportunity to reflect away from the bustle of the tourist trails, and to walk through some of the capital's most contemplative sites.
I look forward to getting to know you and to make sure you feel welcome and get an insider's perspective on all that London has to offer.
