Want something a little deeper than the London popular culture tours? I'm a former teacher, economist, analyst and a lover of history, books and ideas.
If you just want to take photos to put on social media, have little interest in history and don’t really like walking, then PLEASE BOOK A DIFFERENT TOUR!!!
If you are intellectually curious and like to think, then let me take you through the streets of London, from the City (the old Roman town of Londinium), to Southwark on the south bank of the River Thames and then to Covent Garden, Soho, Mayfair & St James’s (6 different walks in total). I'll explain how London came from being a European backwater in the 1500s to the largest city in the world in the 1800s.
Today, London surpasses New York in diversity and has become a playground for the rich. From clean money to dirty money, I'll tell you the back story behind London's rise, not just the official version! The good, the bad and the ugly: you'll hear about it all.
During my tours, I will give you a lot of book and podcast recommendations. So if you don't like books and you don't like podcasts, then my tours are probably not for you. My goal is to mix fun with learning, and based on this mix I've secured over 2,800 five-star reviews on GuruWalk. If this sounds like something you would enjoy, then please join me!
Very nice walk tour and excellent guide.
Amazing tour! Fab experience
Justin is an outstanding guide, and his thoughtfully curated walk provides an intriguing insight into the ways wealth manifests throughout London. It’s both informative and eye-opening, offering a whole new way to view the city. A must-do for locals and tourists alike!
One of the best walking tours I’ve done in a long time! Justin brought great energy, a wealth of knowledge, and a well-informed perspective. He did a great job of making the tour engaging and tangible, the two hours flew by. Recommend both to visitors and anyone living in London who wants to learn more about UK history!
Even our kidults enjoyed Justin’s tour. He kept the information amusing/amazing and at a punchy rate so they didn’t get bored. We will definitely sign up to his other tours ! 5 star
