Sophie Campbell

Sophie writes on travel and UK heritage and her 2013 book The Season examined the elite social events of the English summer.

She loves long walks - across the capital, along the River Thames and occasionally beyond - but does 'normal' tours at most major London sites as well as Hampton Court, Windsor and Runnymede, Oxford, Salisbury and Stonehenge. Many of her tours are available as live camera walks or Zoom talks.

Ask about Big Walks (5 to 10 miles a day) or multi-day walks across London, along the Thames or around Stonehenge, with similar daily mileage. These are only for habitual walkers and the very fit - proper footwear required!

    London Blue Badge Tourist Guides Offering Virtual Tours During Open House London Weekend 2020

    It's got to be one of London's best-loved events: from the arrival of the eagerly awaited annual catalogue and the feverish planning of visits, to that autumn weekend when the city flings open its doors to citizens and visitors. Yup, it's Open House - time for Londoners to get up close and personal with buildings they normally can't access.
