Brian Cookson

I am a London Tourist Board Blue Badge Guide and lead guided walking tours all over London. I have written two books about London - 'London Waterside Walks' and 'Crossing the River', published by Random House. I have also given several presentations to members of the London Guild of Registered Guides for their continual development programme. More recently I have done presentations on London to University of the Third Age groups, including a talk on London's Thames Bridges to National U3A attended by 550 people.
As can be seen by my two books, I am especially interested in London areas near the River Thames and the amazing collection of bridges from Tower Bridge to Richmond.

I have also been a volunteer guide at the Wallace Collection for 25 years and I do guided tours of all of London's major museums and art galleries, including the National Gallery, the National Portrait Gallery, the British Museum and the Victoria and Albert.
