Walks & Tours
The City of London has many faces.
​
It is the oldest part of London. It is the most modern one. It is filled with traditions and innovation. It is the smallest but the mightiest. It has many treasures and many secrets.
​
My walks and tours show you all this. From the Roman foundations to 21. century changes, from the Great Fire of London to the Blitz, from Shakespeare to Agatha Christie, from Christopher Wren to Norman Foster, from Guildhall Art Gallery to Sculpture in the City, from City churches to City gardens...

I'm working hard on the best offer you can get. In the meantime, contact me to ask what I can do for you.
