About Glenn

I’m Glenn, a London Blue Badge Tourist Guide with over 13 years of guiding experience. I am professionally qualified and licensed to guide at London’s most important landmarks and historic sites.

London is my home, and home is just down the road from the Tower of London, at the eastern gate of the old City of London.

Over the years, I have designed award-winning tours for some of London’s leading tour companies and created a bespoke London experience for The New York Times.

Guiding is not only my profession but also my passion. London’s history, energy, and the extraordinary mix of people who have shaped it over the centuries never lose their fascination for me, and I take real pleasure in helping visitors discover what makes the city so compelling.

I’m also a musician, and to me, music and guiding have a lot in common: both are about storytelling, connection, and creating memorable moments.

My aim is always to deliver tours that are insightful, well-paced, and enjoyable, whether at a world-famous site or in a lesser-known corner of the city. I want guests to feel they have truly experienced London, not simply seen it, and to leave with lasting memories of their time here.

  • "I have been on a couple of London tours before, a couple of years ago, and were ok. But this tour was something else, and I will definitely be doing it again in the future. The young man, leading us around was Glen. He was warm and friendly and very engaging. He was so knowledgeable, the group was mesmerised by him. The pubs were so incredibly unique and quirky, and the things I found out about my idols, just blew me away! Glen engages the group with not only his knowledge and execution, but with humour. I was still giggling in my hotel that evening. Thank you Glen!!!"
