Explore London with Expert Guidance

I was born and bred in Paris but I have made London my home and I absolutely love my adopted city of over 30 years.

I am a lover of history and art of any kind and I bring that passion to every tour I lead. Whether you’re eager to explore royal history, discover hidden treasures or stumble upon fabulous street art, I create experiences that are both informative and fun, tailored to your interests and pace.

I can show you the “must-see” locations, from centuries-old landmarks such as Westminster Abbey, the Tower of London and St Paul’s Cathedral, to world-class museums (British Museum, National Gallery, Tate Modern, Victoria & Albert, Churchill War Rooms, Imperial War Museum, National History Museum).

I also enjoy conducting walks exploring areas such as Westminster and St James’s, the City of London where the Romans landed and established Londinium, the East End & Spitalfields area that has seen waves of immigration from the 1500s onwards, and last but not least the fabulous Covent Garden.

In London I also offer themed tours such as street art, Jack the Ripper and Harry Potter.

If you want to go a bit further afield, I can show you around Hampton Court Palace, Windsor Castle or Maritime Greenwich.

I like to think of myself as easy going with a very relaxed and light hearted approach to guiding. Giving the clients in my care a good time is every bit as important as the information they hear.

Bilingual French/English and accredited to guide in both languages.

A red double-decker bus travels down a busy city street surrounded by historic buildings. Numerous pedestrians walk along the pavement, and some cross the street at a crosswalk. The architecture is ornate with multiple windows and decorative facades. The street is lined with lampposts and trees, and cars are parked along the side. Sunlight casts shadows onto the road and buildings.
