Warren J Forsyth

I have lived in London since 1997 and as a lawyer spent the majority of my career in the City of London. Passionate about travel, history, walking and exploring I qualified as a City of London Guide in 2022 and a London Blue Badge Guide in 2024. I am also a Freeman of the City of London that gives me the right to herd sheep across the river Thames !
I would love to show you around and my Blue Badge Guide qualification means I have privileged guiding access to all the buildings that matter including the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, St Paul's Cathedral, Kensington Palace, Hampton Court Palace, Windsor Castle and the Churchill War Rooms.
Fancy some time indoors ? We can experience the great treasures in the British Museum or world renowned art at the National Gallery.
For those who have been to London before there is always more to discover in our great capital city. I offer railway, regeneration, shopping, food and LGBT Pride Tours.
Alternatively, we can head out of town to Roman and Regency Bath, have some fun by the sea in Bohemian Brighton, explore the Pilgrim's City Canterbury, the University City of Oxford, Shakespeare's birthplace Stratford-upon-Avon or mystical Stonehenge and Salisbury.
All of my tours are private and designed around the interests of you and your group, whether it is 1 or 2 or up to 10. I cater for visitors and locals alike.
A selection of my most popular tours are below so please do get in touch. They are mainly on foot yet depending on the tour I may also guide you on red London buses, London Underground, trains, river boats and iconic black cabs. If you fancy a pint in a traditional English pub or lunch in old world legal London let me know as I am happy to tweak or customise my tours to give you a day to remember !
