My name is Pat Tuggey and I absolutely love London. I can remember as a young boy excitedly visiting its many streets and attractions and hearing the fascinating stories behind them. Tales which would fill me with awe, fascination – sometimes horror – and often make me laugh.
I decided to qualify with the Westminster Tour Guides and Lectures Association in order to perfect my techniques in leading tours and learn more about London. This helped me to develop my style and interests which is not only the history of the varied streets and landmarks but also the stories of the people who have left their mark over the centuries. From Kings and Queens to rogues and paupers.
I would now love to share my passion and knowledge of London with you on one of my tours.
Great tour regarding the great fire of London and also lots of additional info!
Patrick was fantastic. He really catered for the younger history enthusiasts in the group. He was very knowledgable and kept checking the content was on the right track.
Patrick was excellent in leading this tour. Funny, knowledgeable and personable. Our time together flew and we learnt so much on his expertly crafted route. I couldn't recommend this to anyone enough. Thank you!
I had a fantastic experience on Patrick’s **Great Fire of London walking tour**. Patrick is an incredibly engaging guide who really brings the history of London to life. He explained the events of 1666 in a way that was both informative and entertaining, connecting the different locations in the city with vivid stories and historical details. What I especially appreciated was how clearly he explained the sequence of events — from how the fire started in Pudding Lane to how it spread through the city and ultimately reshaped London. Walking through the actual streets where it all happened made the history feel real. Patrick was also very friendly and welcoming, encouraging questions and making sure everyone in the group was involved. The pace of the tour was comfortable, and you could tell he is genuinely passionate about London’s history. If you enjoy history, storytelling, and exploring the city on foot, I would highly recommend this tour. It’s a great way to understand one of the most important events in London’s history while seeing the city from a different perspective.
The tour with Patrick was super interesting, he shared so much knowledge with us in a very thoughtful and entertaining way! We loved it! Highly recommended!
