Come stroll the City with me on special walks of film locations, churches, the world of journalism, life in the Livery or, if you are new in town, how about an introduction to the City or an insight into the life of a resident. Or, if you want something bespoke - that would be delightful.
I'm happy to talk to any group (U3A, Women's Institute, local history societies etc) who would like to know more about the subjects above or even about life as a City Guide.
"Thank you so much for the talk on Saturday, one of the best we have had" J Worthy.
“Louise's time travelling walk around the City of London was packed with such vivid description and unusual detail that I felt completely transported into another world for a few hours. Not being from London I was apprehensive about walking though the busy streets but Louise's careful and considerate guidance allowed me to feel so relaxed and comfortable. I can't wait to return for another tour and step out on to the streets of London again with her. A perfect way to spend an afternoon.” S Kitching.
“When you've lived and worked a long time in London like I have, you can forget to look at it with fresh eyes so I thought I'd book on a Red Bowler tour and see if I could do just that. Louise's passion for history and her knowledge of the City blew me away. It should be on every Londoner's to-do list! This fresh and energising tour will make you fall in love with this amazing city all over again. Thanks Louise!” E Elliott.
