A Cockney born in London’s East End, I have a passion for the City of London and its history. If only the fire of 1666 and the bombings of World War II hadn’t destroyed so much of it. I would have loved to walk the streets to see them as they were back then
I became interested in the City while building my first web site after discovering the Internet in 2002. Since then a lot of time has been spent in the Square Mile with a pocket camera and the web site grew. It is now quite popular all over the world.
I decided to sign up for the guiding course at City University in 2008 to increase my knowledge of the City and was successful in all the examinations.
I don't believe in boring a group by spouting facts, figures and dates simply to impress, but try to impart the most relevant information in a relaxed manner and also try to bring a bit of humour into your tour.

As well as exploring the main City sights and well known routes, I'll try to take you to places often missed by tourists. Most walks will have a theme but some will cover a miscellany of the City’s diverse buildings and places of interest. Hopefully these will stir some interest that will bring you back for a few of the more specific themes.
As well as running regular scheduled walks, I'll arrange one-off tours for groups if required. Please contact me if you have any questions or need additional information about my City of London guided tours.
