Hi there! Nice to meet you

Welcome to my profile! I am an cultural history storyteller, passionate about music, art, history and architecture.

I have lived in London for nearly twenty years and when I first moved here it was to experience the wonderful depth of creative history and energy that our fair city has to offer.

I love to tell stories about the fascinating people and wonderful places that give London its unique fabric. As a storyteller through words, images and music, it is a great pleasure for me to meet new people and to share with them some of London's most exciting stories.

As Samuel Johnson once wrote: a man who is tired of London is tired of life.

On my tour you’ll see the best highlights and hidden gems. I’ll even show you significant points related to the Royal Family. I can customize the tour just for you.

We had an absolutely fantastic experience touring London with Tom, The London Storyteller! In just a few short hours, he managed to weave together so much history, culture, and fun bringing the city’s stories to life while also making sure we saw so many of the iconic sites. Tom’s knowledge is incredible, but what really stood out was how he made everything engaging and easy to follow. From the Tower of London and HMS Belfast to Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, and even a stop at Borough Market, every moment felt special. If you want to see London in a way that’s both informative and personal, we can’t recommend Tom enough. He gave us a day we’ll always remember, and we left with not only great photos but a much deeper appreciation for this amazing city. London in 4 hours! Yes!

Our family had a wonderful day exploring London with Tom. He not only shared fascinating stories about famous landmarks like Westminster Abbey but also led us to hidden gems we’d never have found ourselves. His warmth, humor, and deep knowledge made the day fly by, and he tailored everything perfectly to our interests. Thanks to Tom, we experienced the real London and made memories we’ll treasure.Fantastic London Tour with Tom

We had a fantastic time with Tom and definitely recommend this outing to others! Breakfast was delicious as promised. Our party enjoyed both meat and vegetarian options, and I also saw vegan plates that did not look like an afterthought! Our walk and bus ride through Crouch End and the surrounding area was both fun and interesting. Tom is very knowledgeable and an excellent storyteller. If you book with him, you will see a lot and have a great time. A lovely time with Tom

Tom was so knowledgeable about London distort. Before going to the Churchill War Rooms, Tom suggested going on a historical walking tour in the Westminster area so we’d have a more context before going in to the War Rooms. It was so helpful to have that background. Tom also had extensive pop culture knowledge, and answered so many of our questions. Definitely recommend a tour with him! Tom was great!

Our family of four (with two teenagers - 19 and 14) spent three unforgettable hours with Tom during our first visit to London. Tom is an incredible storyteller and allows you to get to know London in an engaging and relatable way. He introduced us to key landmarks like Tower Bridge, House of Parliament, Westminster Abbey and Big Ben, and helped us orient ourselves on our first day in the city, so we could go back to some of his recommended spots. He also suggested a great pub circa 1663 near the area we stayed in and it was fantastic! Great food and ambience. Tom’s comment about London truly stuck with us - “London might not be the most beautiful city, but it’s definitely the most honest - as it’s not afraid to show the good, the bad and the ugly.” That really resonated - it’s truly such an eclectic city full of contrasts. Thank you Tom for helping make our first trip here so memorable! If you’re considering booking a tour with Tom - just do it and you’ll be glad you did!Highlight of our visit
