Having lived in London for most of my life, I’m delighted to be able to show people around my favourite city and tell the stories that make it such a fascinating place. I’m a qualified City of London tour guide.
As a former English teacher and journalist, I’m particularly interested in the writers who have brought the City’s history to life, such as Charles Dickens, Samuel Johnson and Samuel Pepys. I’m also interested in revealing the hidden stories of women in the City.

'Thanks Jenny for the brilliant walking tour you hosted for us around the City of London, our team of 12 thoroughly enjoyed the experience, your knowledge of the City is incredible and it was fantastic to find out the interesting history behind many of the buildings (and people) in the Square Mile. You have certainly opened our eyes to the amazing place that we work in but perhaps have not always seen. Thoroughly recommend Jenny. She is a fantastic, highly professional tour guide who really knows the City and all its secrets.'

'I really enjoyed the Sisters in the City tour I did with Jenny Mill as my guide! I found out some really interesting facts about women in London. Jenny told us some lovely stories, delivered in a clear, engaging and friendly manner. She was so easy to listen to and the tour was pitched just right - not too long and with just the right amount of walking. I will definitely do another one of Jenny's tours and look forward to see what she will offer next!'
