Hello and welcome to London!

My name is Patrick, a Londoner born and bred, and it would be a pleasure to show you my city. London is a wonderful place, with something for everyone, from must-see sights like Westminster Abbey to hidden treasures, green spaces and stories.

Whether you are a first-time visitor with a short time in the capital, or a Londoner wanting to know more about your home, I would love to share the city with you.

I am a qualified London Blue Badge guide. I am also an Emeritus Professor at London Metropolitan University, and have taught about the amazing diversity of London. I would love to share with you stories of the great people, ordinary people and downright odd people of the city.

I am happy to do tours with individuals, couples or groups, and to show you London sights by foot, taxi or coach. Your visit might include:

• Westminster Abbey, where 40 monarchs have been crowned and 16 royal couples married
• St Paul’s Cathedral. A masterpiece of architecture, and a treasure trove of history and art
• Tower of London. A fortress, prison and palace and home of the real crown jewels!
• The British Museum, home of 80,000 treasures from across the world
• The National Gallery, with the cream of British and European Art from Da Vinci to Van Gogh
• The East End of London, home of many new communities in London
• The South Bank of the Thames and Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre
• Greenwich, home of royal palaces, parks and museums

If you have other thoughts or ideas about what you want to see, I am happy to help

London is my home and favourite city. Feel free to contact me and I hope to make it your favourite city too!
