Some of you might actually wonder what I do when I am not blogging or writing some book or other. Well, I actually give private guided tours to individuals, families and groups from around the world. My tours generally are one of three types. Day Trips from London. Here I go to the hotel where… Continue reading Music of London Rock and Pop Tour

Sights of Old Spitalfield Market
Last weekend I visited one of my favourite London markets, Spitalfields. There has been a market at Spitalfields since 1638 when King Charles I granted a licence for root vegetables to be sold there and over the centuries it grew bigger and expanded. However as the 20th century progresses, it began to fall into disrepair… Continue reading Sights of Old Spitalfield Market
Whitechapel Street Art
I’ve written before about my Jack The Ripper Tours in Whitechapel, London and even posted a few photos too. Today I arrived there with an hour to spare so decided to have a little look around as I often do in this area. Whitechapel is of course famous for its poverty and crime problems. In… Continue reading Whitechapel Street Art
Still Lost In The World Of Maps
It is over three years ago since I wrote the First of Two posts on maps. In the meantime, they have been visited by tens of thousands of people which is pretty unbelievable. So I thought it was high time to post another offering all related to maps. I still enjoys maps as much as… Continue reading Still Lost In The World Of Maps
Winter sunrise over the Thames
On New Years Eve, I was lucky enough to give a Sherlock Holmes themed walk to a family of four from New Jersey. As I always do, I arrived in good time to have a hot drink and just a general nose around the neighbourhood. Even the very centre of London is a huge place… Continue reading Winter sunrise over the Thames
Barnard Castle and the Silver Swan at The Bowes Museum
Some of you may remember back in October I went on holiday to the north of England and made a number of popular posts on my trip into old mines, behind waterfalls and along Hadrians Wall amongst other places. I always had one more day to post so a little late, here it is. On… Continue reading Barnard Castle and the Silver Swan at The Bowes Museum
Me on the BBC! (How To Get Rich Using Airbnb)
Forgetting the dreadful grammar though rather catchy title of this particular blog, I thought that I would share a recent interview appearance I made on the national BBC radio network over here. Whilst I was on holiday in Croatia two weeks ago and staying in a very nice and extremely low-budget Airbnb accommodation, I was… Continue reading Me on the BBC! (How To Get Rich Using Airbnb)
Hidden streets of Dubrovnik
I spent much of my time in Dubrovnik just wandering around the streets. I spent hours some days just walking around which is impressive given that you can walk across the old city in 10 minutes. I thought I would share some of my favourite photos of the less visited alleys of Dubrovnik. … Continue reading Hidden streets of Dubrovnik
Visiting the Trsteno Arboretum
After visiting both Mostar and Montenegro in successive 12 hour trips and many days of hiking up mountains, climbing city walls and the excitement of long car rides and boat trips I felt like I needed an easy day. I’d already seen more than everything that I hoped I would see and had such a… Continue reading Visiting the Trsteno Arboretum
Mostar Day Trip -Part 2
My guide for tour of Mostar was to be Armina, a friendly and talented young lady who led me around the city for over an hour. Mostar was famously perhaps the most devastated city in Yugoslavia, it being divided between Muslims and Christians. Like many in the city, Armina though a Muslim, thinks in the… Continue reading Mostar Day Trip -Part 2
