I have lived in London since 1997 and as a lawyer spent the majority of my career in the City of London. Passionate about travel, history, walking and exploring I qualified as a City of London Guide in 2022 and a London Blue Badge Guide in 2024. I am also a Freeman of the City of London that gives me the right to herd sheep across the river Thames !
I would love to show you around and my Blue Badge Guide qualification means I have privileged guiding access to all the buildings that matter including the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, Churchill War Rooms, St Paul's Cathedral, Kensington Palace and the British Museum.
For those who have been to London before there is always more to discover in our great capital city. I offer railway, regeneration, shopping, food and LGBT Pride Tours.
All of my tours are private and designed around the interests of you and your group. I cater for visitors and locals alike.

The story of the City through its history, people and buildings

Always a place of trade and continual development we meet famous citizens Samuel Pepys and Sir Christopher Wren and explore their contribution, yet also see and hear how modern architects from Norman Foster to Renzo Piano have changed the skyline forever.
Wren's City Churches
300 years following his death we celebrate the life and work of Sir Christopher Wren in a tour of his much loved City Churches, constructed after the Great Fire of 1666. Over 50 were attributed to Wren and 23 survive today. What surprises is how every one is different. We visit a selection, some better known - St Mary-Le-Bow and St Stephen Walbrook and others you may never knew existed !

March 2025 "Booking this tour was exactly what we needed to learn about the Tower of London. Our tour guide Warren was incredibly knowledgeable. We tossed questions at him throughout the tour and he never hesitated with his reply. Warren also made sure we had a prime spot for the daily 3pm ceremony while he explained the historical significance....I'll keep those magnificent visuals stored in my memory. Thank you Warren !"

We were able to witness the official opening of the Tower by the Beefeaters and Guards...Cheers to Warren for an unforgettable visit!!" JL "Crown Jewels are a must. Warren was friendly, fun and very knowledgable. The tour was interesting and not too taxing [Warren] also gave us options to do after his tour was finished. I definitely recommend this tour.
