Please to meet you! I'm James Lockett, your dedicated Blue Badge Guide. I hope you are ready to embark on an unforgettable journey through the storied streets of London and beyond. I was born and raised in this city, and I have a passion for it's history, a deep interest in it's culture, and a gift for weaving captivating stories about it. I invite you to join me as we uncover the secrets, legends, and hidden treasures nestled within this vibrant metropolis. I studied Arts and History in Oxford for University and have an MA in fine art painting. I worked as a postgraduate teacher, and a tour guide around the world. I’m also an educator for the Wine and spirit education trust. I have a deep passion for England’s wines and are able to offer bespoke wine tasting experiences in London, and out of town on vineyard tours. As a professional Blue Badge Guide I am lucky to be able to guide inside of world renown sites such as Westminster Abbey, St Paul's Cathedral and the Tower of London. However I love to give off the beaten track tours in any area of London, so please feel free to contact me. Whether it is using my art experience in London's galleries, my knowledge of the mediaeval in the tower of London or a historic pub crawl through the streets of London. I'm happy to tailor a tour just for you... Please don't hesitate to say hello!
