With roots in both South Wales and naval Hampshire, I was born near Windsor Castle, educated on the outskirts of the city of Bath, but have called central London ‘home’ since my teenage years.
And it has been a blast: rejecting drama school in favour of working backstage in London’s West End theatres, whilst studying theatre design at a top London art school – to working in arts journalism, before focusing on organising bespoke event programmes for amazing clients over many years.
Now, as a London Blue Badge Tourist Guide & City of Westminster Guide, I have the dream job of accompanying families, friends, couples and workmates round London, whether they be first timers to the capital, returning travellers, or locals, looking for a helping hand to explore this city, or further afield.
Join me for an enlightening and enjoyable day.
