Stephen Willis
I am greatly looking forward to sharing my love of London and beyond with you! As well as a London Blue Badge Guide I am also a City of London Guide and a City of Westminster Guide. All of this means I know London very well indeed.
I’ve always loved introducing others to places, people and aspects of life I’m passionate about. My years as a teacher allow me to bring excellent people skills to my work today as a guide: I always enjoy the challenge of explaining the richness and complexity of London’s history and traditions in a way that’s clear, engaging and fun, however much or little you know already.
MY LONDON ANCESTRY
My ancestors first settled in London way back in 1766. I am myself a Freeman of the City of London, a liveryman of two of its ancient livery companies (the Musicians; and the Joiners & Ceilers) and currently Senior Vice President of the United Wards Club. All this enables me to share a unique appreciation of this great city.
MY MUSICAL AND ROYAL CONNECTIONS AND TOURS
Many of my tours explore musical, theatrical and royal connections – and I find it hard to resist bursting into song! I once sang in the Chapel Royal Choir at Hampton Court Palace, having studied Music as a choral scholar at Cambridge University. I love sharing the fascinating stories of places with royal connections such as Westminster Abbey, St Paul’s Cathedral and the Tower of London.
MY GALLERY AND MUSUEM TOURS
As an Art-lover, I enjoy introducing visitors to London’s magnificent galleries and museums, from the National Gallery, National Portrait Gallery and Tate Britain to the Victoria & Albert Museum.
BEAUTIFUL CITIES BEYOND LONDON
And London is only the beginning: day trips to beautiful and historic destinations such as Oxford, Bath, Stratford-upon-Avon and Canterbury offer so much beyond.
MAKING THE MOST OF YOUR VISIT
London is a city you can never tire of exploring - there is simply so much to see here! I would be delighted to hear from you either to discuss a general tour or something more bespoke.
