Hi, I’m John and a retired quantity surveyor, a Londoner and spent all my life working in London for a large consultancy getting to know its streets very well. Whilst working I started researching my first tours for colleagues which became very popular for team bonding after work finished for the day. After retiring I quickly decided I wanted to continue with my walks as I love meeting people and sharing my hidden City with them, I have been.doing them now for about 12 years. I’m passionate about a the City’s 2000 years of history, the buildings and the people who helped make that amazing history.
In my spare time, during the summer months I am a volunteer lock keeper on the London canals which is wonderful for meeting people. I also love travelling all over Europe on train holidays and visiting other cities and a wonderful way to see the countryside.
Absolutely amazing experience. If you're considering a walking tour, do not go with anyone other than John! He is warm, incredibly knowledgeable, and has a true British soul. My mind was completely blown — John is a born guide, effortlessly bringing the stories and history to life. His passion, humor, and depth of knowledge made this tour unforgettable. I genuinely can't recommend him highly enough. If I could give 11/10, I would!
Excellent!!! It was Very well explained and in John was in every detail. It was beautiful
John had been an amazing guide! Had been lovely afternoon and very informative tour! Thanks again !
Interesting tour, saw lots of areas I had never seen before and learnt history I was not aware of
John kept us captivated throughout the tour. His knowledge was immense and he was happy to answer any questions thrown at him. He is clearly a history enthusiast who managed to impart so many stories and info in such a short time. I would highly recommend John if you want to see the 'old London City' and it's stunning architecture. Thanks for a great tour.
