My work as a top flight Blue Badge Tourist Guide is is informed and enhanced by my background as an actor and presenter and I can guarantee to help make your visit to London an experience to remember! As an actor, I think of London as a colossal stage set- I will raise the curtain to reveal 2000 years of momentous events and extraordinary characters. I'll show you the 'must see' sites like Westminster Abbey, the Tower of London and Windsor Castle- churches and royal palaces that have shaped our nation. One of my favourite parts of London is the City- the oldest part of London where we see buildings that William Shakespeare and Charles Dickens would have known but yet at the end of a street be amazed by 21st century cutitng edge architecture! I will show you the highlights of world class cultural institutions like the British Musuem and the National Gallery. I'll also show you 'behind the scenes'- hidden allways and secret vistas unknown to many visitors. And of course to round off a sightseeing day I can suggest the best places to eat and natturally the pick of the current West End shows to see! I can offer practical advice- how to get around London-one of the great ways to experience London as a local is to walk or use public transport like the world fanous red buses or take a cruise along the 'lifeblood of London'-the River Thames. Whether you are visiting for the first time or the hundredth I will ensure you have the best possible experience! I look forward to seeing you soon, Simon
