Want something a little deeper than the London popular culture tours? I'm a former teacher, economist, analyst and a lover of history, books and ideas.
If you just want to take photos to put on social media, have little interest in history and don’t really like walking, then PLEASE BOOK A DIFFERENT TOUR!!!
If you are intellectually curious and like to think, then let me take you through the streets of London, from the City (the old Roman town of Londinium), to Southwark on the south bank of the River Thames and then to Covent Garden, Soho, Mayfair & St James’s (6 different walks in total). I'll explain how London came from being a European backwater in the 1500s to the largest city in the world in the 1800s.
Today, London surpasses New York in diversity and has become a playground for the rich. From clean money to dirty money, I'll tell you the back story behind London's rise, not just the official version! The good, the bad and the ugly: you'll hear about it all.
During my tours, I will give you a lot of book and podcast recommendations. So if you don't like books and you don't like podcasts, then my tours are probably not for you. My goal is to mix fun with learning, and based on this mix I've secured over 2,300 five-star reviews on GuruWalk. If this sounds like something you would enjoy, then please join me!
Justin had a fabulous style, very easy to understand, his knowledge of london is top drawer and I will certainly take another one of his tours
Justin is a gifted story teller with a wealth of knowledge across history, economics and politics. He gave a fascinating insight into some of the wealthiest properties, the sordid reality of the English class system, the disturbing influence of foreign oligarchs and a whole new appreciation of the some of the high end streets in London. Would highly recommend.
Great facts and insights into some of the less well known parts of London’s South Bank. Great couple of hours
Really informative and interesting tour.
Fantastic tour, highly recommend and looking forward to doing some of Justin's other tours. Very informative, lots of interesting stories about Britain's dark history in the City intermingled with fun facts. Much appreciated. Thank you!
