Tour Important Information
Our tour takes place in Central London which has no shortage of refreshment and relief establishments. Nonetheless, I suggest that everyone should bring water and any snacks they might need to keep them going for up to three hours, and they should wear comfortable clothes - especially shoes.
As we want to see the guard change ceremonies that are timed with military precision we need to start on time at 10.00 am in Covent Garden, or a little earlier at your Central London hotel

About Tour Guide Ian F.
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.

“Highest recommendation”
Highest recommendation! Ian very kindly arranged for me to join him and a family (for whom he was guiding a full day’s London tour) for lunch at the Middle Temple. He is very charming and knowledgeable.

Love, Sex and Blood. Sinful Life in Covent Garden
Covent Garden is one of the most popular and respected areas in London, but that wasn't always the case. Actors, murder, body snatching and rising from the slums to the stars are just a few intriguing twists of history explored along the way.
