About Tour Guide Vivien S.
I LOVE London! But I really KNOW London too...
I'm proud to be a Blue Badge Tourist Guide, one of a select few who have passed the highest criteria to become a fully qualified London guide.
I hold other London guiding qualifications - I am a City of London Guide and Lecturer, A Westminster Guide and a St Paul's Cathedral Guide.
I specialise in private, customised (to YOUR requirements) London tours, giving in-depth insight into the best locations such as Westminster Abbey, the Tower of London, Windsor Castle, Hampton Court, St Paul's Cathedral, the Churchill War Rooms, Kew Gardens, Buckingham Palace (summer opening), the British Museum, National Gallery and many more.
.... and we can discover hidden alleyways, explore ancient churches, stand where Dickens or Shakespeare or the Romans would have stood...London's many secrets from so many centuries.
Guiding is my passion, but I am also a dog-loving, countryside-walking, museum junkie, knit-aholic, who loves to curl up with a good book (I collect old London books) with a lovely cup of tea and a slice of something nice on the side.
Come with me to discover London. Whether this is your first visit or you've been here before, I will make sure that you have a wonderful time and take home memories to cherish - and lots of fabulous photos!

“Pleasant and knowledgeable. ”
Vivien was lovely! We toured the Tower of London and British Museum with her. On both tours she easily guided us through the maze of rooms and objects; informing us of the history and stories connecting them. She easily handled our questions and kept us focused. We had the opportunity to overhear other guides, some (loudly) reading information from a tablet which made us appreciate Vivien that much more. We highly recommend your tour with Vivien.

“Vivian was the BEST!”
We enjoyed our tour with Vivian and would highly recommend her. Great knowledge of all the sites of London… very interactive and friendly. We had spoken to several guides prior to hiring her and they just didn’t hit and understand like she did. She provided a great service to us and hope you discover what we did! A real GEM

I am a cheerful, friendly, knowledgeable qualified London tour guide. My walking tours have been featured on the BBC. I love showing people around the very best parts of London and some hidden ones too. Come with me on a walking tour and I'll make history come alive for you with entertaining, informative and thoroughly gripping tales of the people and places that make London the brilliant city it is. I can tailor-make tours to suit you and my consistently great reviews speak for themselves. Look forward to welcoming you to London soon!

I am a fully qualified London Blue badge guide. I have exclusive access to the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, St Pauls and Windsor castle. I also guide in Windsor, Oxford, Stonehenge and Bath and Stratford-on-Avon, as well as Hampton Court, the British Museum, National Gallery and the Tate galleries. I am a native Londoner and I have wealth of stories from this great city.

I am a lawyer, historian and official City of London and Westminster tour guide. Introducing guests to the splendours and secrets of my hometown is my passion. I try to make my tours a mixture of fun and fact (with some of the facts being funny and some of the fun being factual). I would love to arrange a private tour that will make your visit to London truly memorable. All of my income from tour guiding is donated to charity - currently World Jewish Relief's Ukraine Crisis Appeal.
