Another excellent tour by Steve. In-depth research means there are unexpected points of history, detailed anecdotes and accompanying images, photos and maps. These bring the area to life and make for a hugely enjoyable walk
Full of facts and stories. Great in depth knowledge of the area helps to create a feel of how Bermondsey must have been. I was thoroughly enthralled for the duration of the tour. If you like social and industrial history then I would recommend this tour.

Hello
Thanks for taking the time to check out my news page, which I use to give you updates on tours and general London information that I think will be useful. I also regularly write a blog, which I use to tell some of the stories that I uncover while researching my tours. You can find my page by clicking the button below.
September 2026
September glows like old amber
I owe you a small mea culpa: July slipped past, August followed suit, and I didn’t manage a single update. So here’s me putting that right.
It’s been a busy stretch behind the scenes. I’ve been revisiting several of my older tours — tightening scripts, refreshing research, smoothing out pacing — the sort of quiet maintenance that makes a big difference once you’re out on the street listening back. It’s been good to give those routes a proper tune‑up.
Meanwhile, the “never‑ending project” continues: the full set of tours around the City of London’s churches. I’m still refining routes, adjusting commentary, and shaping the overall arc of the series. Some test runs are happening in September to make sure everything lands the way it should. It’s a big undertaking, but it’s getting closer to the shape I want.
And in the background, research is underway for a new Great Fire tour — something I hope will sound a little different to my usual style. I’m digging into diaries, maps, and accounts to find a tone that feels more immediate, more atmospheric, and a bit less conventional than my standard routes.
So yes, I’ve been quiet — but not idle. More updates soon, and hopefully a few new releases before long.
