Victoria & Albert Museum
Famously described as “an extremely capacious handbag” the V&A (as it's fondly known by Londoners) houses objects from all over the world that have been made with human creativity. One of my favourite things to do is the Highlights Tour from ceramics, stained glass windows, the world of fashion from kimonos to Chanel, sculpture, jewellery, furniture to theatre design, it is a tour unlike any other. I can tailor for any love of design & craft that you have.
The maximum group size is 20.
Tate Modern
Why has someone drawn in pen on the wall? Why, why, why? Love or loathe it, for Modern and Contemporary Art it pays off to have a helping hand. I can guide you around the Tate Modern, with artists from all over the world, a constantly changing collection on display and the largest collection of women’s artists, you will understand why it is one of the most visited sites in the UK.
The maximum group size is 20.
National Gallery
It may not be the largest national collection in the world (only 2300 paintings) but every painting done by each individual artist is considered a masterpiece from their career. That is why it is an absolute pleasure guiding at the National Gallery.
The maximum group size is 20.
Tate Britain
More off the beaten track but a great celebration of British artists throughout the centuries. The Highlights Tour begins with portraits of the upper echelons of society and then descends into paintings of those who were deemed scandalous to paint, controversial landscapes and self portraits that have stood the test of time.
The maximum group size is 20.
Fashion & Vintage Tours
For the last two years I have been guiding the history, marketing and contemporary fashion in London, which is saturated with maisons, houses and designers. If you are interested in British fashion and designers, luxury fashion and marketing or in good old fashioned vintage shopping, I am the person to call.
On all Fashion & Vintage Tours we will be using public transport and/or black London cabs. The maximum group size is 10.
Tower Of London
A site steeped in 1000 years worth of history was once a royal palace, an army barracks and most infamously a prison. We will be walking on the castle walls, stepping inside the rooms where prisoners were kept, going to see the Crown Jewels and the execution site inside the Tower walls.
The maximum group size is 30. On all Tower of London tours we will be walking both indoors and outdoors.
Westminster Abbey
The site of Royal Weddings, State Funerals and Coronations. With thousands of burials and memorials inside I will guide you through the Kings and Queens buried here as well as the resting place of great British scientists, musicians and poets. There would even be an opportunity to visit the Diamond Jubilee Galleries home to the treasures of Westminster Abbey and stunning views.
The maximum group size is 20. On all Westminster Abbey Tours we will be indoors and walking through the Abbey.
Hampton Court Palace
You can see and feel the presence of all of King Henry VIII’s six wives at the 16th century Hampton Court Palace. Some queens gave birth here, whilst others died and were buried here. Others ran terrified in corridors and begged for their lives here at Hampton Court Palace. Through 17th - 18th centuries the drama and tragedy of court life continued and this extension to the palace is regularly used for the filming of the Netflix series Bridgeton.
The maximum group size is 20. On Hampton Court tours we will be using public transport and any private transportation is to be organised by the client.
Kensington Palace
Inside the palace in the middle of one of London’s great Royal parks, you will see the once childhood home of the young Queen Victoria, and hear about the intriguing strange practices of royal court life in the 18th century. Outside the palace we shall visit the sunken garden dedicated to Diana Princess of Wales who once called Kensington Palace her home.
The maximum group size is 6. On all Kensington Palace tours we will be using public transport and/or London black cabs.
British Museum Tours
My earliest memory of London is the British Museum. Walking in with my parents into a very bright hall with the ceiling completely covered in glass. Then going to a dark corner of the Egyptian galleries to look at a mummified baby crocodile. This would naturally lead to the Aztec mask made from a sacrificed human skull, teeth still intact. Childhood memories. My interests have somewhat developed from the grisly to a wide scope of cultures and lost civilisations. I now get to visit for a living and it holds the same excitement and pleasure each time.
You can book me for the Highlights of the British Museum and Myths & Mayhem of the Ancient Greeks & Romans.
The maximum group size is 25. On all British Museum Tours we will be indoors and walking through galleries.
Bespoke Tours
Take your trip to London into your own hands. I am able to provide private, bespoke tours tailored to you.
Every visitor experiences London differently — that’s why bespoke walking tours are the perfect way to explore the city on your terms. Whether you're passionate about art, fascinated by royal history, or eager to wander off the beaten path, a custom-designed tour allows you to dive deeper into the stories and places that truly interest you. From iconic landmarks like the Tower of London and Westminster Abbey to tucked-away neighborhoods full of charm and character, no two bespoke tours are ever the same.
