About usUnusual London tours
Unusual tours of London with an English guide!
"Let us all dream and do everything to make our dreams come true!" I am a teacher with an artist's soul. I’ve had a passion for English literature since childhood and London has settled permanently in my heart since I started living 7 years ago in Clerkenwell, a haunt of Charles Dickens. His house, now a museum near The British Museum was a favourite haunt of mine. Since an unsuccessful struggle with the guidance and discipline in a local school only delivering disappointment I decided to devote myself to London. After spending hundreds of hours in museums and galleries and wandering many kilometres through a maze of streets and alleys I discovered many hidden gems and learned to navigate without a map this unique and majestic global city. Best wishes! Your guide, Irina! Hi! My name is Nick. I started a career from art, with metal restoration, which was extremely rewarding. Although I was holding in my hands so many masterpieces, I felt beauty is really all around us, in marvellous architecture, paintings, even graffiti, nature and history. I travelled a lot around the country, was so impressed I decided to complete a tourist guiding course and for many years after have worked as a guide. You can live all life in Britain and quite easily miss marvellous places and history located just on your door step. So many unusual facts and discoveries are waiting for us to see, just book one of the tours below. See you soon!
I'm glad that I have the opportunity to invite you on my unusual walks of London and share with you my secrets and discoveries.
