Private Bespoke Walking Tour in London

5.0
(7 reviews)

3 hours 30 minutes (approximately)
Offered in: English

I’ve walked the streets of London for over 20 years as a police officer and tour guide. I love helping people get the most from their visits to London and England and showing them secret and unusual places as well as the traditional popular sites.
My police Sergeant role in Westminster since 2007 means you can rest assured you will be in safe hands, fully first aid and safety trained. I can share many stories of my time on the beat, including policing Royal Weddings, meeting Prime Ministers, sneaking a prince out of a nightclub and escorting Michael Jackson from a theatre.

Walking Tours:
Some of my ready-made tours include Smithfield Market (6:30am weekdays), City of London highlights , student insights to Oxford and Cambridge, Cotswolds rambles, city highlights in Bath, Canterbury, Hereford, Salisbury, Stratford upon Avon, Winchester and Windsor, Royal Westminster and On the Beat, patrolling Soho and Westminster.
