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.
We were 2 adults and 2 teenagers. John was really well informed and was able to share lots of interesting information that we all enjoyed. The route took us through lots of interesting small streets where John was able to make suggestions for places to eat on different occasions. He was very happy to answer questions and we really enjoyed the tour
This was a very interesting and informative tour! John was very polite and friendly, giving us time to take photos and ask questions. I would totally recommend it and we are going to book another tour with John soon.
John provided lots of valuable information. We visited places that I would never do on my own, so I always learn something new in London.
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!
