Marc Blake
I am a born and bred Londoner and I cannot wait to show you around my city. From Westminster Abbey to the Tower of London, St Paul’s to the parks, the Royal family to Rock 'n' Roll London, I will reveal its myriad delights, pageantry and some of its many secrets. I have been a tour guide since 2014 and more recently, a qualified Blue Badge .
I am happy to guide both large and small numbers, as well as family groups and individuals. I am flexible and happy to plan a bespoke day or half day around your needs. Either on coach or on foot, London is exciting, fun and safe.
It’s the people who make London, and I look forward to telling you about some of the great, the good and not so good who have trod its pavements or lurked in its alleyways.
I also specialise in rock and roll, in particular the classic rock era (Beatles, Bowie, Stones, Who, Floyd and Hendrix).
I have a BA in Fine Arts and it would be my pleasure to guide you through the National Gallery, Tate galleries, the Wallace Collection or other museums and collections.
I prefer a conversation to a lecture and to explore rather to bore. I also offer theatre and West End/Soho walks and am fully qualified to guide around Bath, Oxford, Salisbury, Stonehenge, Stratford-upon-Avon and Windsor castle.
My background is in teaching, writing and the arts. I teach at various universities, as well as publishing non-fiction and novels. A recent book - Spirit of the Blitz (a YA novel) references my interest in that period. I also offer walking tours focussing on World War II London.
