Hello, I'm Alex! 

I studied Ancient History at the University of London. I also studied abroad at Boston College and lived in New York City. 

Today, I am a fully qualified London Blue Badge Tour Guide with over 10 years experience. A Blue Badge provides exclusive guiding access to Westminster Abbey, Tower of London, St. Paul’s Cathedral and Windsor Castle.

I believe the best way to see London is to blend historical facts with captivating tales. I specialise in small-group tours, perfect for families, that explore London through stories...

I am a huge sports fan, from football to Wimbledon and everything in between. Including the NFL and NBA. Today, I live in the Olympic Village in East London, and am therefore highly interested in the Olympic Legacy, believing the events of 2012 helped to create the London we see today!

Additionally, I also have a particular interest in the City of London, which is the neighbourhood built on the original Roman settlement. This area is packed full of history as well as quirky traditions and customs. For example, it still features over 100 medieval guilds, one of which I am a member of. Therefore, I can provide a unique insight to this particular culture.
