Jack Yeomanson
Before he ever considered guiding Jack used to work in the City, and like just about everyone else he used to rush about with his head down and never paid much attention to the world around him, something he now wishes he’d done more of.
Since qualifying as a City of London Guide and Clerkenwell and Islington Guide Jack has learned that stopping to look is a very good thing. His walks aim to delve into the stories behind the sights you’ll see and focus on the personalities and quirkier stories that exist in London. Jack believes you could easily stop on every street in London and find a story to tell.
As well as guiding in the City and Clerkenwell & Islington Jack also guides at St. John’s Gate and in Wandsworth, where he was born and still lives and works.
