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 (5 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.
Justin really knows his stuff and was very engaging with everyone in our group Fromm all around the world. It was very obvious he did and continues to do his homework.
Justin was a lovely guide with a great knowledge of the city of London. We were even allowed inside a posh pub.
Justin provided an exceptional free tour of the City of London, offering a unique and passionate narrative of London's evolution into the world's largest city during the 1830s. His deep understanding of historical data was evident as he skillfully guided us through the city's transformation. Justin's recommendations for insightful books related to the topic added depth to the experience, highlighting his commitment to providing a comprehensive understanding of London's history. He shared lesser-known facts, enriching the tour with intriguing details, and offered valuable advice on exploring less touristy locations. Highly recommended for those seeking a captivating exploration of London's past with an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide.
It was really good, the weather was not great but I really enjoyed the tour, thank you Justin
