Welcome, I run walking tours of London for individuals, families and small groups who are looking to enjoy some guided sightseeing of our fabulous capital city.
Enjoy a walking tour of real London (the bits most locals don’t even see!) with a born and bred Londoner, award-winning history blogger and Blue Badge Guide.
My guided walking tours of London show a new angle on its history. By raising our gaze and looking above our eyeline we spot little details that make its history and stories come alive.
Maybe you want to discover London for the first time? Or maybe you’ve lived here all your life?! Either way a Look Up London walking tour gives you an authentic experience from a knowledgable, enthusiastic guide.
