Hello! I so look forward to welcoming you to London – whether it's your first visit or you have been before.  I want you to have a thoroughly enjoyable time, seeing what you want to see, doing what you want to do, at the pace you wish to set.  I am good humoured, flexible and relaxed whilst being highly professional. I offer tours of the major galleries and museums but, because I have additional accreditations for guiding in the City of London and the City of Westminster, I am a great choice for walking tours. I really know how to get from A to B avoiding crowds, introducing you to London's secret spots.  Walking is a great way to see and understand London, its people, its history. Themed walks/tours include: Winston Churchill's London; World War II in London, The Battle of Britain, The Blitz; History of the City of London; A Bloomsbury Literary Tour; Sherlock Holmes' London; My tours are family friendly, especially the Churchill War Rooms, the British Museum, Westminster Abbey, the Tower of London and the Guard Change at Buckingham Palace.  At Tate Modern and Tate Britain I give "introduction to art" tours.  Whatever your age or interests there is much to appreciate and I will always endeavour to make your time fun, relaxed and informative. Let me know how you wish to spend your time here and I will be delighted to help you make the most of your visit. About me: I have lived and worked in London for over 30 years with my family - I have two children, a young doctor and an archaeologist.  Before guiding, my professional background was in finance - as a regional head for Britain’s leading international cultural relations organisation. I have travelled extensively for work and pleasure, worked closely with people of all cultures and have lived in France, Italy and India. Some client feedback: "Sue went out of her way to give us a great experience.....just marvelous" (CW, CWR and WW2) "Thank you for being a most informative and personable guide. Your natural enthusiasm for the subject matter made our visit to the Abbey and the Tower very enjoyable" (PW, Canada) “I just wanted to follow-up and let you know, again, what a wonderful time we had in London and how much we appreciated and enjoyed your company. Your knowledge and ability to answer all our questions was amazing. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide while we were there. St. Paul’s Cathedral was our very favorite and learning so much about it from you made it even better. Thank you again for making our trip better than we had hoped for!” (C&M S, USA) “An absolutely delightful person - we learned a lot from Sue on what was our fourth visit to the Abbey (JS, USA)” "...Sue goes significantly beyond the average tourist fare..." And from my specific Churchill War Rooms tours: “Sue was an amazing guide! Though we thought we came well prepared, we learned so much about the war and Churchill’s contribution from Sue. We highly recommend this tour and are most grateful to Sue for making this such a memorable experience” “Sue was absolutely amazing. She brought the history of the War Rooms to life. My kids were thoroughly entertained.” “Sue was great! She was not only very knowledgeable about the subject but also very enthusiastic. She did a great job engaging us."
