Biography

I recently retired after many years working as an advocate in criminal law. I have lived and worked in London and love the opportunity to stop and look about at what we can see.

The City of London is a 'Square Mile' - where you can travel through two thousand years of history in a hundred metres.

I have a great interest in ancient history and have studied the Romans and Greeks

I enjoy walking along the banks of the river - the influence of the Thames on the City and the rest of the country is a story to tell
