Biography

I'm a native Londoner and spent 25 years in London’s financial markets but I was too busy to realise where I was working! When I became a guide I discovered the fascinating world all around us. Since qualifying I have taken dozens of groups on walking tours and built up a base of regular clients. I also guide in both Tate Galleries. I love guiding, and my enthusiasm is evident.
