I qualified as a Blue Badge guide in 2008 and since then have built up a repertoire of specialist walking tours , as well as guiding the main sites in London. My specialist walking tours are Jewish London, Secret Service London(MI5/MI6), Southwark & the River,The Blitz & WW2, Harry Potter, Sherlock, Dickens, Beatles , RocknRoll and several in the old City/Square Mile.
For those who would also like some slightly off the beaten track places I cover Mayfair, Marylebone, Soho, Clerkenwell, Highgate, Hampstead and Barnet (where i live)
My tastes and interests vary enormously from theatre (I'm an ex-actor), film, literature, football(West Ham fan for my sins!), table - tennis and all forms of music from classical to rock.
I'm also a lover of dogs and have a Cavapoochon (a very mixed breed!) called Daisy - picture available on request...........
Having been born and bred in London I am true devotee to the city and its many charms and quirks and more than happy to help you out with your interests and needs. Its a great job i have and i enjoy nothing more than continuing passing on my knowledge to the many visitors who come to this fascinating city.
London is like an onion; no matter how many layers you strip away, there always seems to be another one..........
Testimonials
My husband, 3 teenage sons and I visited London and Laurence was recommended to us as a great tour guide. He did not disappoint! He was so knowledgeable, easy going, great sense of humor and incredibly accommodating to whatever we were interested in seeing. Highly recommend him for your trip :) Gail Parsons
He has an excellent sense of humour and the ability to bring history alive. A top class act nothing short of amazing. Do not pass up the opportunity to use this guide. David & Rocky Baum
Laurence was an amazing tour guide!! We booked him last-minute for a group of 35 (mixed group of students and adults), and all of my expectations were blown away. Laurence is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and can tell you as little or as much info as you want to know about London. We walked some 5-6 miles that day and learned so much. He took us through shortcut streets, placed us in the best spots (away from the crowds, and set a great pace for our entire group to keep up with. I would eagerly book him again in the future; we were so pleased. Thank you, Laurence!! Matt Sweeney
We really enjoyed the two days my family spent with him. He’s so personable and fun! We can’t wait to come back and tour again with him. Ellen Brandt
