Hi there! Nice to meet you

David

I'm an experienced, qualified and entertaining tour guide in Central London. I am a committee member of the Westminster Guide and Lecturers Association and have a degree in Modern History from Oxford University. I'm welcoming and love showing people around London, particularly the West End. My tours are packed with great information and stories. You will get to know London well.

I am also a teacher of English as a foreign language so I often host people whose first language is not English.

I have lived in London all my adult life; I love its history and its rich culture.

We really enjoyed our tour with David. We provided him with our itinerary for our 4-day stay in London and he customized our tour to see sites that we wouldn't otherwise make it to. He provided interesting stories and historical insider info that our family enjoyed. We had a very nice experience with him and highly recommend him as a guide.Very knowledgeable and friendly

We had an incredible 3-hour tour with David, and we cannot recommend him highly enough! He was extremely personable, easy to talk to, and an outstanding storyteller. Despite having visited London multiple times before, we learned so many new and fascinating things about the city. David’s ability to engage both us as adults and our young adult kids made the experience truly exceptional. It was dynamic, highly interesting, and never felt boring for a second. We will absolutely book David again on our next trip to London. Thank you, David, for such a memorable experience!Incredible 3-hour tour with David

David was an excellent guide for us in this sunny, but cold November day. Although some of us had been to London numerous times,everything we saw and learned about was new to us. David has an impressive knowledge of architecture and history, and also with regards to the history related to popular culture over the decades. Not at least, he did it with humor and wit, and conveyed some hilarious anecdotes along the way! We were truly impressed, and felt extremely lucky we got such a great guide. We highly recommend David!Great tour of the gems of London

David quickly picked up on our interests and the pace that suited us. He walked us through charming areas of London we would never have found on our own. We learned a great deal about the history of the city, how it responded to rapid growth and industrialization, particularly child poverty and abandonment, and even how the courts are structured and the legal profession is organized. He gave us the strong impression that he would be able to adapt and tailor his tours to a wide range of clients.Perfect

I spent the entire day with David, including lunch. I was in a small group discovering old WestMinster and then had a private tour of London. He filled my head with so many interesting facts and was able to answer all my questions. I doubt there are many Locals that know all the hidden gems. By the end of our tour, I felt like I was walking around with a friend. Knowledgeable and enjoyavle.
