Biography

I love exploring London, it has the lot - Romans, grand buildings, strange traditions, art, green spaces...

I work in galleries, museums, a palace, so I get to know the collections, and behind the scenes.

I guide at Tate Modern & Britain, The Guildhall Art Gallery & Roman Amphitheatre, The National Gallery.

MA art history student.

 

 

 

Qualifications

City of London guide, London guide with a tour company, BA in English Language & Literature, MA  in art history.

I enjoy making places and collections accessible and fun. If you have a health condition or disability I am happy to assist you to have a relaxing and enjoyable tour.

I guide across London and it's many iconic and historical places. My speciality is a tour of art galleries and museums, from Tate to the Churchill War Rooms, and many others.

I am passionate about London and can explore over a thousand years of history with you - even if you thought you already knew London!
