Your dreams of English countryside come true in the city. Richmond is Sir David Attenborough's favourite place on the planet. We see a wide village green, narrow lanes, the Tudor gatehouse of Richmond Palace and the Old Deer Park. Swimming birds and working boathouses await you, as we cross Richmond Bridge to walk southwards along the river, passing Marble Hill House and other mansions with parklands and formal gardens as well as wildflowers, paddling children and dogs.

About Tour Guide Laura A.

I'm a qualified London guide now offering History Walks with Gender, Sex and Class. Walks focus on the lives of poorer working people rarely described in historical accounts except as criminals or objects of charity. When there’s an opportunity to talk about women I’ll take it, and social class is always on the table. I've been a writer, researcher and critical historian all my life, and I've been a Londoner since the 1960s, although I've left to live in other towns and countries. Author of Sex at the Margins: Migration, Labour Markets and the Rescue Industry, for many years I've focused on getting the stories out of women and others marginalised because of being poor, foreign, ‘different’ or doing jobs some folks think are Wrong, in the present and in the past. I'm known as The Naked Anthropologist.
