BA (Hons) Architecture, B.Arch
Dip. French

I have an enthusiastic passion for the architecture, countryside and cultural heritage of South East England. I grew up in south-east London and originally qualified and worked as an architect. As well as being a regional guide for the South East region of England I am also a qualified City of London guide. Now living in West Kent, I am well placed to undertake tours across the region as well as in The City.

Many years experience as an Adult Education tutor underpin the work I currently undertake with educational groups including "bespoke" tours for private groups such as U3A study groups and local history groups. I am often invited to give lectures focusing on architecture and topics of broader regional interest with a primary focus on my home county of Kent (lecture topics available on request - the list is growing all the time).

It is my privilege to be welcoming many French speaking visitors on a regular basis mainly at Battle Abbey, Hastings, Brighton and the coastal towns of Sussex and Kent.

The rich cultural heritage of South East England, the beauty of its countryside and the diversity of its towns is an endless source of refreshment, fascination and surprise.

My personal interests include:- regional architecture, walking in town and country, choral singing.
