Born in the East End in Stepney 1955, attended two schools and secondary education at Sir John Cass/red coat foundation school. 'O' levels and GCSE’s in science, geography, English and maths. Then on to City and Guilds laboratory techniques at Paddington Technology College.

I am a professional driver of hgv and psv vehicles from 1978, including London transport and then bus inspector until 1986.

Knowledge of London passed 1992 and tour guide ‘green badge’ September 2015. Freeman of the city of London and Liveryman of the Worshipful Company of Hackney Carriage Drivers.

London tours include classic history and places of interest, visiting areas such as Wapping, Southwark, the haunts of the Kray twins and the city of London square mile as well as London War Time Tours taking in locations such as the Churchill War Rooms and the Imperial War Museum.

I also take day tours to Stonehenge, Bath, Lacock, Windsor, Leeds Castle, Pevensey, Eastbourne, Seven Sisters and Canterbury. For those interested in England’s wartime past, we can visit locations such as the Tank Museum, Duxford, Bletchley Park and the wartime tunnels at Dover Castle.

I am experienced in passenger collection from cruise liner terminals, airport transfers and can work as directed if required
