As a fully qualified Blue Badge Tourist Guide, I’m one of the few professionals accredited to lead tours inside London’s most iconic landmarks, including Westminster Abbey, St Paul’s Cathedral, and the Tower of London. These are places that most visitors only glimpse from the outside — but with me, you gain exclusive access and insider knowledge.
I’ve lived and worked in London all my life (with a brief university detour to Manchester), and my background in education, entrepreneurship, and public speaking allows me to bring each story to life with clarity, humour and depth. I offer more than just history — I create meaningful experiences filled with storytelling, context, and a true sense of place.
Whether you want to uncover the layers of history in the East End, follow the footsteps of kings and queens, or explore London’s rich Jewish heritage, I tailor every tour to your interests, pace, and level of curiosity. Expect more than a list of dates and names — expect a personalised, engaging, and unforgettable journey through the city I call home.
Whether you’re visiting for the first time or rediscovering the city with new eyes, I look forward to unlocking London for you.
