Jonathan

Jack-of-all-trades and a master of enthusiasm. Passionate about London and its history, Jonathan came to guiding after careers in industry and finance in the City. A Bristol science graduate with an MBA from London Business School, he’s now a top-flight, professionally qualified guide in the City and in Clerkenwell & Islington. Jonathan’s walked and photographed every lane, alley and courtyard in the Square Mile. Also an actor, blogger and aviation analyst, Jonathan somehow finds time to write music – inspired, he says, by a song that once came to him in a dream (though he can’t play a note). And as long as you’re at it, have a listen – here’s a fun and instructive interview with Jonathan.
