Biography

I am a working actress ( best known as Sandy in BBC’s ‘As Time Goes By’). I love history, and particularly the history of the City of London - The ‘Square Mile’.

I am a fully qualified City of London Guide and would love to share my passion for the City with you.

There has been a City here for 2000 years - Let me take you on a guided walk and share with you secret parts of the City and reveal its fascinating history to you.

Whether you are interested in Ancient Building’s, Modern Buildings, The Romans in London, The Great Fire and the Blitz, the beautiful Wren Churches, The magnificent River Thames, the people who have inspired change in the City over the centuries, William Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, the secret pocket parks in the Square Mile, the gruesome stories behind some of the execution spots and the notorious Newgate Prison - to name but a few - let me take you on a guided walk and we can uncover some of these stories.

My passions are the human story- the people behind the buildings we see and the events that took place.

Let me show you parts of the City you have never seen before and unlock its colourful and vibrant history.

Tours I can offer:

Tours of the Square Mile in general- City Highlights.

Roman London Walk,

The Great Fire and the Blitz

Ancient and Modern Buildings in the City of London

’City Influencers’ - a walk about the people behind some of the buildings in London and how their actions affected the City.

I also write bespoke walks of the City which I have done for many businesses who wanted a particular angle for their walk.

Please get in touch if there is a particular aspect of the City you would like to explore, or a particular topic you are interested in and I will work out a bespoke walk for you.
