Benjamin Jacobs
Welcome to London! I am a qualified London Blue Badge Tourist Guide who has worked in the tourism sector in England for a number of years.
As a born and bred Londoner, it would be my privilege to take you on a journey through the city, visiting some of its iconic sites such as Westminster Abbey, the site of the Royal Wedding in 2011 of Prince William and Catherine Middleton, or the Tower of London where you can see the Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom and explore history dating back 1000 years!
We can also discover London by foot and visit world famous places such as Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square, Parliament Square and Tower Bridge.
If you are a sports fan, we can also arrange a visit to some of London's major sporting venues such as Wembley Stadium, the Emirates Stadium (Arsenal), Stamford Bridge (Chelsea) and more. I have an additional background working in major sports venues as an accredited tour guide at Wembley and Chelsea, as well as a contributor in the field of sports journalism.
If you are a Ted Lasso fan I'd be delighted to show you some of the filming locations on a tour in London.
As a father of an eleven-year-old, I also enjoy working with families and can introduce you to and show you some of London's best places for children to visit such as the Natural History Museum, the Science Museum and Hamleys toy store!
Finally, if you would like to travel outside of London, we can discover wonderful cities and sites such as Stonehenge, Windsor, Bath, Stratford-upon-Avon, Canterbury and more.
