Women Of Westminster

Westminster is the seat of power and importance. Most of that history is told through the lens of the men whose names fill the history books. However, there are many women who helped shape history,  although their stories are rarely told, and in some cases were forgotten until recently. Join me to uncover their legacies and find out how women have been instrumental in London's history.

It's a classic. It's a must. But how do you get the best from this centuries-old tradition without being in the wrong place at the wrong time? Never fear - knowing the ins and outs of the ceremony means that you get the best spot to view it, will know what is going on, and a good insight into the best of the ceremony.

Glorious Greenwich

The heart of London's naval history, Greenwich has all the positives of being part of a city, yet also having its own unique character. Amazing views, nooks and crannies, stories of seafaring and derring-do, as well as casually holding the title of the place where time begins, Greenwich is one of my favourite places to guide people.

Tour length; 1.5-2hrs

Smithfields; Blood & Guts

For centuries the area around Smithfields has been home to gory goings-on. We are on the trail of martyrs and murderers, body snatchers and severed limbs, plague pits and martyrs. And we're in luck, because they are plentiful!

The odd ghost and ghoul to round things off, and this tour is one that's sure to give you a true sense of what Smithfields and Clerkenwell's gory history.

Slavery &
The City

London is a powerhouse. A financial centre, a history of wealth and importance. But what was this status built on? And more importantly, whom?

We take a look at how the City of London was implicated in the Transatlantic Slave Trade, and what part it played in order to secure its own position, as well as looking at the legacy of that role today.

​

Tour length; 1.5-2 hrs

Film & TV

London is home to a booming film industry. Hollywood regularly comes to film in the city, and as a result there are many locations which pop up regularly on screen. 

​

Together we will discover where some of the biggest films and shows were shot and hear stories from the set - from The Crown and Dr Who to Harry Potter, several Avengers movies, and horror classic 28 Days Later. We'll also take a look at the only movie ever to be screened live - and how it was nearly scuppered at the last minute by a WW2 remnant.

​

Tour length; 1.5-2 hrs

London In Colour

London's history would seem on the surface to be almost exclusively white. This is far from the reality. People of colour have been present in the UK since Roman times, and there are so many who have been part British history.

Join me to uncover some of these people and tell their stories.
