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 award-winning 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 amazing city.

Hidden behind Borough High Street in Southwark lies Talbot Yard a forgotten corner of London where Geoffrey Chaucer once imagined the pilgrims of The Canterbury Tales setting out for Canterbury. Today it’s easy to walk past without noticing it.
What does Roman London, Leadenhall Market, Elizabethan pirates, the East India Company and the Lloyd’s Building have in common? They all occupied the same patch of ground.
Tucked away in a small Georgian Square, between Lambeth and Kennington, is the childhood home of Charlie Chaplin, one of the most famous figures in film history. It’s little known and not often visited. Behind the doors of Number 39 West Square, a young Charlie Chaplin spent his earliest, happiest years…
From grocer, coffee house to the oldest wine merchant in Britain, Berry Bros. & Rudd, is a glorious business which owes its success to smart adaptability, grand timing, and an address of extraordinary good fortune.
