Biography: I have had a passion for London since I was 3 years old, when I was determined to be a taxi driver. Instead I am now a 46-year old Blue Badge guide still in love with London's diversity and vibrancy. After almost two decades tour-managing throughout Europe, with both school and adult groups, I can relate to visitors of all ages and nationalities - and can deal with the technical problems and emergencies that might arise.

While at present my guiding qualifications are exclusively in English, I find my extensive knowledge of Spanish, French, Italian and Czech very helpful with a range of groups.

Region for which accredited: London

Special interests: Sport - especially football - and music (especially rock) are my favourite themes. But with an unusually wide store of general knowledge and the willingness to research and prepare, I feel that I can turn my hand to most topics. Lately I have conducted tours themed around the Beatles, Harry Potter, and historic pubs of Mayfair.

Jon will do walking tours.

Extended tours: I enjoy being "on the road" and will happily tour pretty much anywhere - including France and Spain (and their neighbours) where I have spent much of my working life.
