Hi there! My name is Alan, and I'm a local host in the incredible city of London. What I love most about London is how it truly is a melting pot of all walks of life. There's always something new to discover! When I'm not hosting, I love exploring the rich history of this amazing city. From Westminster to Soho, Borough to Kings Cross, and Spitalfields, I know these neighborhoods inside and out. And as a fifteenth-generation Londoner, I have a wealth of knowledge about the city that many people don't know. Plus, I have a special connection to London's literary history. I'm also an expert on the history of music in London and love going to gigs to discover new and exciting talent. And, of course, I'm a foodie at heart and love trying out new restaurants, from fine dining to street food. Let's explore this amazing city together and have some fun!

My reviews

    A great way to spend a day getting to know London. Alan tailored our tour to our situation and interests and was an easy going knowledgeable host and guide. We did the tour at the beginning of our visit to London as a great way to get oriented and figure out what else we wanted to do during our stay. I would definitely recommend this experience to others.

    We had an incredible experience in London with our tour guide, Alan. He was exceptionally knowledgeable—not just about the city itself, but also about a wide range of topics including WWII, the music industry, literature, and general history. His insights truly brought the city to life in a way that made every stop meaningful and memorable. What made the tour even more special was Alan’s warm and friendly demeanor. It felt less like a formal tour and more like spending the day with a local friend. Highly recommended!

    Alan was amazing. His knowledge of London was outstanding. He was very personable, telling us little side stories, and interesting facts. He tailored our tour to the places we were interested in seeing. We were a group of 7, including two seniors who moved slowly. He was patient, and went at our pace. I would highly recommend this tour, and ask for Alan!

    Alan was an absolutely amazing guide. We had a call before we left so he could prepare the tour for our exact desires. The day of the tour was fantastic. He knew so many amazing facts and places to visit. He would be my first choice on my return to London.
