Welcome! I’m Tim, and this is your gateway to London. From iconic landmarks to fascinating locals, I love sharing the extraordinary stories of this 2,000-year-old city.
Alongside my weekly films on instagram each month I curate a series of walks around the city. From royal palaces and treasures, to tales of radicals and rebels. Uncovering the rascals and the saints, each walk reveals the everyday lives of Londoners through the ages. A glimpse into the city’s rich and diverse history.
Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a living breathing Londoner, join me and discover some fabulous things in this fabulous city.
Tim’s style was both informative and entertaining – easily one of the best tours I attended!
Great tour today. Really enjoyed it – loved the storytelling & linking to characters.
I liked the way Tim developed the theme of the walk, rather than just treating it as a collection of separate episodes.

One that delves into a dark chapter of our past: civil war, regicide – the killing…
Its stood for over 340 years, the Monument to the Great Fire of London. It’s tucked away a short walk from the northern end of London Bridge, in a dip on Fish Street Hill and the moment you see it you are filled with a state of awe…
A stones throw from St Paul’s at the busy junction of Newgate Street and King Edward Street are the remains of Christchurch Greyfriars. The church and the surrounding area has a fascinating history filled with Queens, Mendelssohn and Medieval butchers…
You gotta love someone who calls a serving monarch a ‘fat bastard’. So hats off, no doubt a silky-velvet number, to the rather grand character that is Beau Brummell. Although absolutely fabulous, there is something sad in his story…
Smithfield has been used for many things; from fabulous jousts in the Middle Ages and riotous fairs, to bloody executions and the oldest meat market in Europe. Smithfield has a rich and fascinating history….
Continuing our theme of London’s most magnificent and interesting trees here is my third instalment – the gorgeous little Olive Tree in Clerkenwell.
