My name is Chris a born and bred cockney from the East End of London. I have been guiding walking tours around the great City of London since 2005 when I qualified as an official City of London guide. I have been passionate about the history of London since I was a small boy and that passion has never died. My interest in the City has enabled me to explore many of the traditions, secrets and eccentricities of the City that most people do not know about and which I can now share with my clients on my walks. I love London, come for a walk with me and let me share my knowledge of the great and beautiful city with you.
Crime and punishment - A walk through the dark side of the ancient City of London.
Crime - Hear tales of notorious London criminals and their crimes
Punishment - Visit the places where justice was, and is, administered, visit the sites of executions and prisons.
You will also visit many sights of general interest to the visitor in the great City of London.
The great advantage of taking one of my walking tours is that we will go where bus sightseeing tours can not go.
Highlights include:

Payment -
Cash - £'s is preferred , I am also happy to take Euro, USD, AUD and other major currency notes.

Please be aware that while GuruWalks are FREE to book, you pay what you think is fair after the walk. "Try before you buy" does not get better than this !
When deciding what is fair please consider that your Guru Chris, is a professional qualified London guide and this is my job. So if you enjoy the walk and pay nothing, (Yes, some people do this) that really would not be fair. The average payment for this type of tour in London is £15- £20
Minimum number - The minimum number of walkers booked in for this tour to take place is 5. If there are fewer than this number 12 hours before the start time I will, sadly, have to cancel the tour as it will be uneconomic for me. If you are a group of fewer than 5 and wish to ensure the tour takes place please contact me and make an advanced payment of £60.
The meeting place is by the Cathedral exit of St Paul's underground station. I will be holding a purple umbrella with white spots
Free tours do not have a set price, instead, each person gives the guru at the end of the tour the amount that he or she considers appropriate (these usually range from €10 to $50 depending on satisfaction with the tour).
