I’m a London-based tour guide, creative, and storyteller with a background in fashion design, which shapes the way I see and experience the city. I’m originally from Turkey, and that mix of perspectives has given me a strong appreciation for how culture, identity, and creativity come together in a place like London.

I’ve been living here for several years and explore the city daily through my work. I lead a range of tours including pub crawls, Jack the Ripper walks, and food tours across different areas of London. Through this, I’ve built a deep, practical understanding of the city, not just its history, but how it actually feels to move through it, eat in it, and experience it day to day.

What most travellers miss is that London isn’t just about landmarks. It’s about the layers behind them. The migration stories of places like Brick Lane, the music and fashion history of Soho and Camden, and the hidden details in streets you might otherwise walk past. I love bringing those elements together in a way that feels engaging and easy to connect with.

Alongside cultural and historical experiences, I’m also very happy to help with food recommendations, especially international cuisine, as well as pubs, nightlife, and local spots that aren’t always obvious. I can suggest budget-friendly options, day trips from London, and even lighter outdoor plans like walks and hiking nearby. I also keep up with events and festivals happening around the city, so I can help you catch what’s on while you’re here.

Because of the nature of my work, I’m used to working with all kinds of travellers, from young solo travellers to couples, groups of friends, and families of all ages. I aim to create a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, and tailor recommendations based on what you’re actually looking for, whether that’s something social, cultural, or more laid-back.

I can help you make the most of your time in London with tailored recommendations and experiences, including:

• Art events, museums, galleries, and creative spaces
• Vintage markets, thrift stores, food markets, and local shopping spots
• Pubs, gigs, nightlife, and festivals
• Cultural events and what’s currently happening in the city
• Day trips from London and nearby hiking or nature spots
• International food recommendations and local favourites
