Mark is a member of both the City of London Guides Lecturer’s Association and the City of Westminster Guide Lecturers Association and is Chairman of Footprints of London.
I have always been fascinated with urban development and the influences on the built environment, and where better to feed that fascination than London?
So, after two years of intensive study, I qualified as an Institute of Tourist Guiding accredited tour guide for the City of London and as a tour guide for the City of Westminster and now have the pleasure of sharing the delights of the greatest city in the world with everyone who comes on one of my guided walks.
So, what should you expect on one of my walks?
A quick read of my blog should give you some idea of my style, but suffice to say I’m not an academic or historian, nor an actor filling in between jobs regurgitating someone else’s pre-prepared scripts.
What I am is an enthusiast of the history of London. I research and write all my own walks and I love sharing the fascinating stories that lurk in the city’s past and how they helped shape the amazing city that London is today.
I aim to share these stories in an informative, engaging, but above all entertaining way with those who come on my guided walking tours. These are not street lectures; whilst you will always come away from one of my walks with a few choice nuggets of information to share with your friends, I like above all to have fun on my walks. I hugely enjoy doing this and I want you to enjoy the experience just as much.
Do I succeed? Well, I’ll leave that for others to say!
