Here’s what Philip, the guide, wrote to us. Won me over instanta. There’s no resisting it.
I’m a qualified guide for the Clerkenwell and Islington area. My most popular walk is ‘Highbury – Grand houses and Grander Stadiums’. We have a lot of fun on this walk – we hear about a candidate for Jack the Ripper. His main recommendation seems to have been a malformation of the penis! We also get to re-enact the denouement of Four Weddings and a Funeral outside of the house where it was filmed. It ends with what one of my customers described as the cheesiest line ever in films, by Andie McDowell after a proclamation of love from a drenched Hugh Grant – ‘Is it raining?’. I also get to talk about history, architecture and my favourite football team, including a chance encounter with Arsenal legend – Robert Pires, And there’s even a short nature walk!

Rated 5 out of 5
Sue –
A most interesting walk in an area that I knew nothing about. Great to have a walk away from the usual central hub. You do not have to be a football fan to appreciate the surroundings. This is my second walk with Philip and I consider him to be a top rate guide. Lots of great info delivered with an easy style. He was careful to ensure we knew where local tube stops were for our return to central London. This walk does not come around too often, so keep an eye out and book it.
