Biography

Welcome to the City of London! I'm lucky enough to live in the Square Mile, and was enchanted to find 2,000 years of history, culture and architecture right here on my doorstep. It inspired me to find out more about this very special neighbourhood, and eventually to qualify as a tourist guide.

A writer by trade, I love a good story - and the City of London is packed with them. I've pulled together a few of my favourites and can't wait to show you around. Join me on a scheduled walk, or get in touch to ask about a private or corporate booking.

"After binge-watching Slow Horses, I was thrilled to come across this tour, which was equally informative and entertaining. Not only do you get to visit some of the show's key locations, Susannah also gives you a bit of London history throughout and a pretty spot-on Jackson Lamb impersonation."

"Susannah was a marvelous guide, very knowledgeable but friendly and relaxed so at no time did we feel we were being lectured. Every stop was relevant and interesting and despite the bitter cold I thoroughly enjoyed this experience and will definately book again"
