Richard our tour guide was great. He tailored our tour to my grand children. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Well done.

We were fortunate in many ways. No rain, beautiful weather and it was early so the streets were not crowded. But what made our tour unforgettable was our guide Crow. From the moment we met him in the hotel lobby he was interesting, informed and insightful. He regaled us with tales from both past and present - he was an absolute delight to be around. The kind of person we would love to meet again for a drink or a tour of a music venue or an art gallery. Travel is in many ways the elixir of life and when you meet someone who guides you to make your visit that much more memorable you know you hit the jackpot. We did.

Hi there. When I told Londoners I've visited Brixton, they confirmed this really is a vivid area in the South of London ! My personal guide, Richard, is the right one to have you introduced in this diverse community with lots of history. We met at the mural of David Bowie, near to Brxton tube and Richard started to talk about the area and its inhabitants. He took me to electric street where food stores were opening and I admired the diversity of food and people who are working overthere. Richard talked me about the history of Brixton riots in the Eighties, about black history in London and about gentrification now. We took our time to visit local shops and Richard advised me to buy a little book about unknown London in a second hand bookshop. It seemed to me a lot of local people knew him (and he knew them). Although I preferred to have my guided tour in the morning, we could see a glimpse of Brixton container village where Pop Brixton is taking place. At the end of the tour we ended this remarkable morning with a remarkable guide on a terrace of a little pub near the railway station. Richard paid for the drinks and I could continue my trip in London with a big smile. Thanks Richard ! Tom
