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.
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.
I’m delighted to say the first walks of the season are now live. Dates from June through to September are up and bookable right now, with more to come. Whether you’re a returning face or joining for the first time, it’s going to be a wonderful season and I can’t wait to stroll with youā¦
What do 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.
Parliament Square is famous for its array of statues, some celebrated, others less so. From Churchill, Lincoln, Gandhi, Fawcett and then thereās Nelson Mandela. But his story here didnāt begin with a statue.
This is a story of an old fruit and vegetable shop, Verde & Company, Spitalfields Market. It’s had an up and down history. One of those classic tales of David and Goliath. Its present situation, from local East End greengrocer to a boutique vendor for an international chocolate chain reflects much about these times.
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…
I wonder if we were to vanish, if the cityās restless movement were suddenly stilled, how long would it take before the natural world came back? How many weeks before deer moved cautiously along Cannon Street, or seals, heavy with spring pups, found their way to the sandy margins by the Strand?
London has some of the most amazing and beautiful trees. This week I want to introduce you to one of my favourites: the Cheapside London Plane.
Windy cold day a few years back in the lee of Parliament hill, Hampstead Heath. I saw the walker crossing the skyline towards the bench. I shot a few frames at the point where he was best backlit against the sky and this is the one I liked the most. It was very cold, theā¦
