'Laurence was a wonderful guide. We couldn't have asked for better. Our children are seven and nine and they absolutely loved him.   He made it really fun for them and you could see that he enjoyed being with them . Laurence is more than just our guide; now we consider him a friend.'
Lauri Herman, New Jersey

I began my career as an actor and then supplemented this by becoming a teacher of Drama and English,  which means I am very comfortable working with school groups and families.  One Summer, needing some extra money, I worked on an open-top bus in London showing people the sites and telling them the history of our wonderful city. 

 However, this wasn’t enough!  I soon fell in love with the city I had lived in all my life and became hungry for more knowledge and wanted to explore further avenues, so I enrolled in a couple of courses, specialising in certain areas of London( the Square Mile and Clerkenwell), before I decided to go for broke and do the Blue Badge course, which covers London in depth plus Bath, Canterbury, Oxford, Salisbury, Stonehenge , Stratford and Windsor.

'Laurence quickly attuned himself to the different personalities of the group . He was humourous and engaged every one of them. They loved him and got so much more out of the outings than they normally do.'
Kathy Inch, Ontario, Canada

Since completing my course, using my literary and theatrical background , I now also specialise in walks on Jack the Ripper, Charles Dickens, Sherlock Holmes and  William Shakespeare.

My approach as a guide is light-hearted yet detailed and I aim for the experience to be relaxed, fun and informative. 

So far as my credentials are concerned, I am a qualified Blue Badge guide, a member of the Guild of Registered Guides, the Institute of Tourist Guiding and am fully insured. 

I look forward to meeting you.
