I was born in Islington and I have lived or worked in London all my life. I am a chartered accountant by profession and working in the City gave me a life-long interest in the development and heritage of London, particularly its economic and social history.
The story of London, its people and places were shaped by its geography and past events connected to monarchs and political and military figures with whom we may be familiar. But in parallel there is an economic and social history of how trading and commercial activity has influenced London, the lives of ordinary Londoners across centuries and created the great metropolis we see today.

Through Voicemap and these tours, I am able to combine my passion for London, with some of my other interests in writing, transport, architecture, photography and technology.

I am hoping to add additional tours on Voicemap on these themes and I look forward to sharing all this with you. Please contact me with any comments or suggestions.
