Patricia Ellis

I love London!

Let me show you around our capital which has something to offer for every interest, every season, every age  and every mood.

If this is your first visit to London, I can help you make the most of your time here and show you the highlights of our wonderful city, such as Westminster Abbey, Tower of London, St Paul's Cathedral, or our royal palaces.  If you’ve been here before, join me in visiting some of the fabulous, but lesser known, parts of this world-famous place  - markets, hidden gardens, small but fascinating museums and galleries, Chelsea, the South Bank, Docklands and more - to see, hear and experience how Londoners live, work and relax.

If you have a bit more time to spare, we could venture a little further afield to see, for example, our late Queen's favourite home and now resting place in Windsor or walk in the footsteps of Henry VIII and his wives at Hampton Court Palace.

Whether you’re interested in guided walks, site tours, transported travels or are here on fact-finding missions, I can tailor your trip to suit you, your interests, your timescales and your chosen pace.

I came to work in London many years ago, intending it to be a fairly short stay, but found I never wanted to leave. So when my job moved, I stayed!  After a varied career in science, consultancy, medicine and research, I’ve undertaken two years of training and am now proud to say I am an award-winning Blue Badge Tourist Guide for London.

What visitors have said:

"Thank you for an absolutely wonderful day.  It was the best day of our trip thanks to you!" B&J from Texas

"We want to thank you for giving us a tour that was everything and more than we could have asked for or anticipated." J&C from Washington

"I just want to thank you again for a wonderful tour yesterday. I so appreciated the research and time you took to put the tour together for me.   I definitely am so glad that I was paired with the exact right guide!"  K from Toronto

"Tricia has prepared an information packed tour. She is very knowledgeable not just about the history of Westminster Abbey but the architecture and people buried and commemorated in it. Her passion is contagious."  J from London

"Tricia took us on a tour of a part of London that was familiar to me. I learned so much from her that it felt as though I was discovering it from the first time" T from Ottowa

"My son and I had a great time visiting the Tower of London with Patricia.  Our tour was bespoke as per our requirements. Patricia has immense knowledge about the Tower and made it very interesting for my son who is 9 years old.   I would highly recommend this tour."  S from Delhi

"Thank you much more for your terrific tour of Roman London that we very much enjoyed despite the less than ideal weather. You are a fountain of knowledge and all three of us learned a lot" C from New York

"I want to thank you for helping us have a wonderful trip.  You went out of your way to assist us ......... Once again let me thank you for making this a trip I will always remember."  J and M from Atlanta
