MEET THE STORYTELLER
Brian Cookson
After qualifying as a Russian Interpreter during National Service, I obtained a BA in Russian and German at Oxford University. I spent most of my working life as a computer consultant, mainly working for IBM. When I retired, I qualified as a London Blue Badge Guide. I lead guided walking tours all over London and have written two books - 'London Waterside Walks' and 'Crossing the River', published by Mainstream.
Information on my tours and lectures can be found at http://www.lonwalk.ndirect.co.uk/.
