~ PRIVATE TOURS ~
Jeremy's private walking tours are fun for all ages— whether you're a family visiting London or a local office organising a unique outing for your work colleagues. Each tour can be tailored to your requirements, and you can even hire Jeremy for bespoke tours on themes and routes of your own choosing.
~ SCHOOL TOURS ~
Give your students an experience that is both fun AND educational. Jeremy's tours are highly interactive, with quizzes and challenges along the way that are designed to keep students of all ages engaged. Furthermore, the students are invited to ask questions throughout, creating a convivial atmosphere for learning outside of the classroom.
Bringing several groups? Jeremy has you covered, as he regularly works with London's top tour guides, meaning your school will never miss out on the chance to experience the city's history up close with a local expert.
~ ABOUT ~
As a child, Jeremy's grandfather would march him along the old streets of London and show him the fascinating history that is hidden in plain sight. This ignited a lifelong appreciation of the city's heritage and the urge to share his love of London with others.
Since graduating as an official City of London Green Badge Guide in 2017, Jeremy has pioneered an engaging style of tour guiding that keeps visitors of all ages engaged through questions, challenges, and exploring the real places where the history happened.
Much of his work today is with school trips. Teachers have observed the positive effect that his tours have had on their students’ interest in history, while the students themselves often remark that seeing the city on foot, along with the interactive nature of the tour, made the history come alive.
Since 2025, Jeremy has hosted the Street Historians podcast, where he sits down with London’s expert guides to dive deeper into their craft, what their work entails and their favourite places to take visitors. You can listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and more.
