Biography

In my mind, London is the best city in the world. And having travelled to 70 countries, I’ve been to a few greats. I’ve lived here for 28 years and London is the gift that keeps giving. I’m never happier than when exploring a new corner and there are always new discoveries to be found, no matter how small. The Square Mile is a particular gem.

Come with me to discover the stories behind the headlines, the people and fascinating quirky facts about the City of London. Whether you are a seasoned Londoner or a first-time visitor, there is always something new to uncover.

 

And I can safely promise you, your tour will be fun!

Reviews

Ships and Slavery walking tour: 

 

“Fran Hughes delivers a tour de force through the City of London. From Romans to slavery to architecture and quirky English stories, this had it all. Our group included teens and non-native speakers and they all enjoyed it equally. The tour is very easy to walk and architecturally extremely varied. Enter with Fran into the different worlds of the London City spanning more than 2 millenniums!” Jan, London.
