Paul was one of the youngest ever Blue Badge Guides to qualify since the Institute of British Tourist Guiding was founded.

He is a descendant of the Shaw & Hardwick family of architects who worked in London throughout the entire 19th century and his father's family worked on the Thames for over 150 years. He loves to share the history with modern day London as much as possible in all of his tours. He also love the NFL, Dunkin Doughnuts and his Basenji dog named Eze.
