The best part of London isn't on the postcard. I’m a Canadian-born Londoner who has called this remarkable city home for more than two decades. What began as a fascination with British history and culture evolved into a professional and deeply personal connection with London’s streets, neighbourhoods, and communities. Today, I am a qualified Green Badge City of London Guide and have delivered more than 700 tours for private travellers, families, corporate groups, educational organisations, and VIP guests from around the world. I am also a Freeman of the City of London and a Liveryman of the Worshipful Company of Pewterers, giving me a unique perspective on the traditions, institutions, and history that continue to shape the city today. My speciality is helping travellers discover the London that many visitors miss: hidden courtyards, historic coffee houses, independent cafés, quiet lanes, markets, riverside walks, fascinating architecture, and the stories that bring these places to life. I have a particular passion for the City of London, where Roman remains, medieval churches, Georgian elegance, Victorian ambition, and modern skyscrapers exist side by side. I particularly enjoy helping curious travellers who want something more thoughtful and personal than a standard sightseeing itinerary. Whether you are travelling solo, as a couple, with family, or visiting for business, I can help you uncover experiences that match your interests and travel style. My approach is practical, conversational, and highly tailored. Some travellers seek help planning a memorable first visit, while others want specialist recommendations, hidden gems, or deeper cultural insight. My goal is always the same: to help you experience London not as a tourist, but as a temporary local. For me, London is far more than a collection of attractions—it is a living city best understood through its stories, people, and everyday details.

Hi! I'm a Londoner born and bred, a licensed tour guide with 25-years experience and a real London cabbie. Mega-touristy or off-the-beaten-track, I can help. Inside London or beyond London, I have probably guided there too (Stonehenge, Oxford, Cambridge, Bath, Cotswolds). And as a London cabbie I know my way around and all of London's many districts. By-the-by I'm also a published London historian, and, I'm still a 'tourist' in my own city, never tired of visiting and doing.
