Introduction:
Actress, teacher, guide and mad about London! As the song goes "let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London" - I'll tell you stories and show you places that you will never forget from the crown jewels to instruments of torture and everything in between.
I teach at City University running courses on Performing Arts in London (Theatre, Ballet, Opera and of course Shakespeare) and Historic London - so am used to teaching students from America and all over the world.
I enjoy working with individuals, small groups and private coach tours.
Whether it is your first time to London or you are a seasoned visitor I can help you explore the well-known sites and the hidden secrets of this glorious City.
