I’ve been going to the world famous Abbey Road Studios since 2013 as part of my Music of London Rock and Pop Tour and more recently also as the starting point on my Beatles Tour of London with my tour company Ye Olde England Tours. I’ve given more than a few tours to not just famous musicians… Continue reading Inside Abbey Road Studios and tickling the ivories of John Lennon’s piano

I am a writer and traveller with a penchant for history and getting off the beaten track. With several books to my name including several #1 sellers. I also write environmental, travel and history articles for magazines as well as freelance work. I run my private tours company with one tour stated by the leading travel website as being with the #1 authentic London Experience.
Recently I've appeared on BBC Radio and Bloomberg TV and am waiting on the filming of a ghost story on British TV.
I run my own private UK tours company (Ye Olde England Tours) with small, private and totally customisable guided tours run by myself!
Why the Cop26 summit is just a load of hot air
Though I’m sure some of the world leaders want to at least pretend to care about the environment (not all even want to even pretend) it seems clear that on the whole most of them couldn’t care less. If they really cared then they would already have made the necessary changes. Incredible things can happen… Continue reading Why the Cop26 summit is just a load of hot air
My new Last Night In Soho Walking Tour
On Monday I posted a film review on Last Night In Soho which I watched when it came out on Friday. Having been busy on Saturday I had mused over the possibility of creating a special themed tour much as I do for several other famous shows such as Harry Potter, Sherlock Holmes, James Bond… Continue reading My new Last Night In Soho Walking Tour
I’m on UK national Talk Radio tonight at 9.30pm
I just found out that I’ve been invited to appear just after the news. We will be talking about Knocker-Uppers which isn’t as kinky as it might sound. You can listen on the radio, DAB or online.

Last Night In Soho Movie Review
I have been waiting for this film for a year or so but it has been long delayed due to Covid. I really liked the look of it from the trailers and though those elements are very enticing and didn’t disappoint, the actual film is so much better. I’ve written before how I often experienced… Continue reading Last Night In Soho Movie Review
Phoebe Hessel – The Stepney Amazon who fought for King and Country.
I always enjoy writing about lesser known female figures in history, so often their tales are incredible and inspiring and at this time of year I often think of Women and The Great War. These days ladies can not only serve in the British Army but fight on the front lines and as pioneering as some… Continue reading Phoebe Hessel – The Stepney Amazon who fought for King and Country.
The Railway Queen who met Stalin
From the end of WW1 to the early 1980s the likes of cotton mills, coal mines and railways crowned girls and young women Queens of their industries in a PR effort to distract from worker dissatisfaction and trade union disputes, improve morale and bring a little bit of glamour to what could be very tough… Continue reading The Railway Queen who met Stalin
Coronavirus Diary 80 – I’ve survived Covid19!
I’d just like to say thank-you for all the messages and emails I’ve received this last few weeks and with any luck I can say I just about made it through Covid 19. I still have the famous Covid cough from the dreaded Delta variant and I still have no appetite or sense of taste… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 80 – I’ve survived Covid19!
Behind the scenes with No Time To Die – James Bond
As I mentioned in my No Time To Die film review post, I do a James Bond Tour in London and whilst I was meeting tourists for a Winston Churchill and War Rooms Walking Tour, I noticed that the street their hotel was in was closed off on Google Maps. It’s a street I know… Continue reading Behind the scenes with No Time To Die – James Bond
No Time To Die – James Bond Movie Review
This review does contain some unusually massive spoilers for the new James Bond film, please consider yourselves warned or as Q would say…. pay attention 007! It’s interesting that this is the first James Bond film where in the famous intro 007 shoots an assassin and there is no blood that covers up the sight,… Continue reading No Time To Die – James Bond Movie Review
