Hi, I’m Richard, and I have a passion to bring the history of London to life.
I deliver original walking tours and virtual tours around London. I love showing off the great thoroughfares, squares and buildings as well as revealing the lesser known courtyards and alleyways.
I like to put over the drama of historic events. But what most inspires me is bringing out the stories of the people through history who gave London’s buildings and streets life.
As well as my scheduled tours I am available for private group virtual tours, walks or talks. Just send me an email with the details.
Most of my tours are now also available as Virtual Tours, brought to you in the comfort of your own living room for £10.00 (£16.00 for two or more sharing one device).
