Jon Brahams
I have had a passion for London since I was 3 years old, when I was determined to be a taxi driver. Instead I am now a Blue Badge guide still in love with London's diversity and vibrancy. After two decades tour-managing throughout Europe, with both school and adult groups - and over a decade now as a Blue Badge Tourist Guide showing off my city to couples and families of all dimensions - I can relate flexibly to visitors of any age and nationality.
While at present my guiding qualifications are exclusively in English, I can chat in most European languages and have travelled extensively myself - both of which can be very helpful to connect with a range of individuals, families and groups.
I of course enjoy guiding in our great churches (Westminster Abbey, St Paul's) and naturally the Tower of London - as well as uncovering the secret back streets and hidden jewels that even most Londoners have yet to discover. Excursions to our most worthwhile out-of-London cities (especially Oxford, Stratford and Bath) are a regular feature.
Music and sports are major themes for me; I specialise in Rock Tours of London, and enjoy guiding the frequent visitors to football, NFL and MLB events. But with an unusually wide store of general knowledge and the willingness to research and prepare, I can turn my hand to most topics. Lately I have conducted tours themed around World War II, Sherlock Holmes, historic pubs of London, The Beatles, Winston Churchill, and London's Theatreland.
