This Sceptred Capital
Vocation
My vocation is to talk about London and Britain as much as possible. There are so many places & people to cover, one lifetime isn't enough.
I love linking events and people from the past to familiar signposts of popular culture. An occasional joke helps, too. If you're laughing, you're learning.

About
Ever since I moved to London, I've been asked to 'show people around'.
I realised it was a pleasure, not a chore.
Moreover, having interest in British history since before I moved to London,
showing people around was something I was looking forward to.
Fast forward to now, this is my venture.
So, please join me on my walks. Currently I have three, soon to be four.

Tours
My walking tours are designed to cover a portion of history, be it geographical, royal or by theme.
So far there are four, with six more launching this year:
- Royal London, which is split into two tours chronologically: Anglo-Saxons to Stuarts, and Stuarts to Windsors. All things monarchy are covered here.
- Royal Love Stories, in which we talk about all the royal lovers who have graced London, and their tales of happiness and sadness.
- Naughty London, in which I talk about the other, less wholesome side of London.
- Magical London, which is a novelty tour, dedicated to one of the most British franchises of all time - Harry Potter; coming soon.
