Joanna Oudkerk
Welcome to London, the fabulous and cosmopolitan world-class city I am lucky to call home.
I have lived, studied and worked in London for over 30 years.
London is a whole way of life, and full of wonders and secrets for even the most experienced traveller.
I’m not just a Londoner: I’m a London Blue Badge Guide. It will be a privilege to introduce to you the very best our city has to offer:
- We have four UNESCO world heritage sites: Westminster Abbey and the Houses of Parliament, the Tower of London, Maritime Greenwich and the Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew.
- London is world-famous as the home of Britain’s Royal Family and a Royal Tradition which dates back almost 1,000 years.
- Marvel at the art, treasures and curiosities in our world-class (and free!) galleries and museums such as the British Museum, the National Gallery, the Victoria and Albert Museum, Tate Britain, Tate Modern, the Natural History Museum and many others.
- The city’s layered history is nearly 2000 years old: there are hidden secrets around every corner, down every alleyway, and even under your feet.
Our time together will always be tailor made for you and your family or group’s particular interests. There is something for everybody in London and I will enjoy making your experience of even the most famous buildings and collections a very personal one to treasure for many years to come.
Why not join me to explore one of London’s village neighbourhoods? I lead themed guided walks in historical or cultural districts of London, such as Legal London, Spitalfields, Royal St James and Westminster.
Background/CV: I gained a law degree from the University of Cambridge and I am a barrister. I trained and qualified in London and practised full time for 20 years right in the heart of London’s four Inns of Court, and the Temple. I grew up in Salisbury, a beautiful, mellow cathedral city in South-West England, and only about 10 miles from the extraordinary UNESCO World heritage site of Stonehenge. So, if you fancy exploring out of London for a day, visit Stonehenge and Salisbury with me.
