Meet Your Guide
I’m proud to have been born with in the sound of Bow Bells (St Mary le Bow, Cheapside), and have spent my life walking London's streets uncovering their hidden stories and personalities.
Let me take you beyond the obvious tourist sites to where you can discover over a thousand years of history if you are prepared to linger, and slow down to the pace of the past.

Jess MorrisI have been fortunate enough to attend a few tours with Mark, one touring London and its many memorials which I enjoyed immensely. Mark is by far one of the most knowledgeable people I have had the fortune to come across. You could not be in a safer pair of hands than Mark’s and you certainly won’t be leaving unfulfilled - I would recommend him to anyone and hope to join another tour soon.
