Edwin Lerner

Named Edwin (an early king of Northern England) but usually called 'Eddie', I conducted extended tours around Britain and Ireland for many years and now work as a freelance guide and tour manager with a little writing and editing on the side.  I specialise in public transport and walking tours of London which means that you do not have to have your own vehicle. I conduct round Britain tours themed on cars, religion, music, theatre, literature and sport and have looked after all types of groups from freemasons to farmers, from baptists to Beatles fans. I will go anywhere and work extra hard for all my clients.

    Harry Potter's Importance to Tourism in London and Britain

    Blue Badge Tourist Guides in London are used to taking people around places that have been around for a while and are often asked, ’How old is this place?’. Hogwarts School may have existed for some time, but nothing in the Harry Potter series of books and films is over thirty-five years old. Via this blog post, I'll take a look at some of the places associated with the boy wizard.

    Claude Monet Exhibition at the Courtauld Gallery in London

    London has been a smokeless zone for over sixty years. The city used to be famous for its ‘London fogs.’ They were described by the novelist Charles Dickens and even led to the creation of a type of American rainwear called London Fog. Then the Clean Air Acts were passed in the late 1950s and 1960s, largely as a reaction to the ‘great smog’ of 1952 and London Fogs gradually became a thing of the past that will hopefully never be seen again.

    William Shakespeare - A London Eastender

    It is not known to many people, but William Shakespeare began his theatrical career in the East End of London rather the place most often associated with him – Southwark, the area to the south of London Bridge.
