Welcome to London! I am a qualified history teacher, garden designer and hold an MBA from a leading UK business school. I have always been passionately interested in British history and culture and enjoy working with English-speaking visitors from all over the world. This great City has so much to offer. I can take you to see famous attractions such as the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, St Paul's Cathedral, the British Museum, the National Gallery, the Churchill War Rooms or the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. Alternatively, you may prefer a walking tour to see areas such as Buckingham Palace and the Royal Parks, Chelsea, the City of London, Covent Garden, Fitzrovia, Hampstead, Notting Hill, Soho or Westminster with the world renowned Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament. London also has a wealth of less well-known but fascinating off the beaten track attractions - churches, gardens, museums, squares, courtyards, alleys, pubs, etc., which you may like to explore. If you would like to go further afield I regularly guide at sites such as Bath, Blenheim Palace, Cambridge, Canterbury,  the Cotswolds, Hampton Court Palace, Kew Gardens, Leeds Castle, Oxford, Salisbury, Stonehenge, Stratford-upon-Avon, Winchester, Windsor Castle and many more. I have a very wide range of interests and am happy to arrange bespoke tours to meet your particular needs. Popular topics have included: church and cathedral architecture, stately homes, castles, historic gardens, London literary and legal tours, antiques and Wesley heritage tours.
