I am a History teacher in London of over 30 years’ experience. I graduated from Queen Mary [University London] where I first had the opportunity to take walking tours of the East End with City Walks. A large section of my degree concerned the History of London. I have previously worked as a self-employed tour guide for Britmovietours and was instrumental in the development and delivery of their Jack the Ripper tour 2009-11. More recently I have been working on behalf of Original London Walks guiding their Maritime riverside walk and their Sunday Boat tour[in conjunction with the Brunel Museum]. I also work as a volunteer on behalf of Wilton’s Music Hall [both as a tour guide and usher]. In 2014 I spent the summer at Fort Phil Kearny, Wyoming USA, primarily as a tour guide to the Fetterman Battlefield and undertook desk and museum duties at the Fort itself. I am really excited by what I can share with you.
Wapping, a franchise of executions and more pirates than the Caribbean. Docklands became derelict lands, a tiger on the loose and a gruesome burial. Wapping is where Tobacco was the king of sailor town. So much to explore from the artist Turner to Captain Kidd.

Dead Man Stairs
Tobacco Dock
St George's in the East
Cable Street
Wilton's Music Hall
Factoid- The Thames River Police are England’s oldest Police Force. Established in 1798 it was a river policeman that was called to the infamous 1811 Ratcliffe Highway murders

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).
