Hello, I’m Linda, a London Blue Badge Guide and a Londoner born and bred.

I qualified as a London Blue Badge Guide in 2019, fulfilling a lifetime ambition, but have been guiding in the City of London and the City of Westminster for the last 5-years. And yes, London has two cities!

Before this, I worked in banking in a variety of roles, which included working directly with both business and personal customers, and more latterly in positions of leadership, so I know how important it is to understand what each client is looking for, and to design tours that are relevant, inspiring, and fun.

So, who are my clients? Well, they come in the form of all different shapes and sizes, from small family groups to larger corporate groups, or groups of students, but they all have one thing in common, in that they enjoy hearing the stories, scandal and gossip that bring places to life, and make them memorable.

Of course, I can show you the main sights, the Tower of London, St Paul’s Cathedral, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, the Changing of the Guard, and the City of London, a global financial centre built on a medieval street plan! Or, some of the lesser-known, but equally fascinating places just off the beaten track, such as Mayfair, Covent Garden, the Southbank and London Docklands.

I specialise in walking tours, but equally can take you on a panoramic tour in a coach, or private hire vehicle, and around on trains, buses or boats, as all tours can be tailored to meet the individual needs and interests of the group.

So, if time is limited, maybe the main sights of London in a day, followed by a trip out to Hampton Court Palace, where King Henry V111 lived with all six of his wives, or Windsor Castle, the family home of kings and queens for almost 1,000-years.

What people have said about my tours: -

"The whole tour was stimulating and fun and we will certainly be returning".

"The guide had a wealth of knowledge on the history, and related the featured locations to present day news and events, which made the stories even more interesting".

"You could not fail to leave the tour wishing it had lasted longer. London scenes brought to life".
