About Tim
Tim has lived most of his life in London but was born in Poole, Dorset on England’s South coast. He has been a London Blue Badge tour guide for over 10 years and loves showing guests “The Moves” of London, to quote Charles Dickens. The guard change at Buckingham palace, Westminster Abbey and St Paul's cathedral are all waiting to be explored with him as a your guide. He has worked at, and regularly guides at, the museums of London, Science, and Transport, as well as the Royal Observatory Greenwich. The Tower of London is another favourite guiding destination where Tim will take great pleasure in introducing you to the raven ‘Poppy’ who he has known since he was an egg! He is fascinated by the ‘very old stuff’, London’s Roman past and the out of town fascination of Stonehenge. After art college he graduated in Environmental Sciences , then joined a rock band for several years singing & playing guitar. Later he moved into acting, which lead to 3 years in the West End in the Olivier Award winning musical ‘Return to the Forbidden Planet’ (Shakespeare’s forgotten Rock ‘n’ Roll masterpiece). Not surprisingly, Tim loves showing guests London’s theatre history and also its musical heritage. When not guiding, Tim, writes & records music and tends to his 58 yr old Volvo. “ I want to pass on my love & joy of this great city & its surroundings to you “
