About Us
Hi, I’m Patrick – history enthusiast and professional 'that looks interesting/let's stop and grab a coffee and chat/how about we try something a little different to make this more memorable' London tour guide.
I’ve lived in London for more than 20 years and, despite having walked an unreasonable number of its streets, I’m still finding places I’ve never noticed before.
I love sharing the city with visitors and bringing its history to life – not just the famous buildings and big events, but the people, characters, scandals, stories and little details that make London what it is.
The tours I run can be for solo or visitors as a couple, private groups, or families. Our focus can be on anything from on Parliament and Westminster, the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, the City of London and the development of London, Churchill and WWII as examples.
I can also help bring to life people from Henry VIII and The Tudors, Charles Dickens and Victorian London, the William the Conqueror, Harry Potter all the way to the Royals over the years (in central London or further afield at Windsor, Greenwich or Hampton Court.
My aim is simple: to help you see more, learn something interesting and have a genuinely enjoyable time doing it.
If you’re planning a visit and aren't quite sure what you’d like to do, drop me a note. Tell me what interests you and we’ll come up with something that works for you.

Types of Tours
We organise all sorts of tours, including tours of specific venues, walking tours to get up close and guided coach tours. We can also organize trips to places within reach of London, such as Bath, Stonehenge, Salisbury, Oxford, Stratford-Upon-Avon, Henley-on-Thames, Windsor Castle, Canterbury, Hampton Court Palace and Canterbury Catherdral.
Each experience can be designed specifically for your requirements and timeframe.
Building a Bespoke Experience
We want you enjoy your tour, but hopefully learning something along the way. As well as the guided visits, we can also organise a breakfast or lunch before (or after) to enable your group to learn more and have an even richer team experience.
Our tours are designed to be a relaxed way to spend time, but also go away having seen, or learned something new.
Giving Back
London is a diverse city, with communities at all levels of privilege, wealth and education. We are committed to giving back to support others less fortunate. As we have links with the foster caring community, we run tours at reduced cost to foster familes and children (via Southwark Fostering) to give them the chance to experience this amazing city and perhaps spark interest in subjects such as history, architecture, art, politics or even tourism as a result.
