Ian Swankie

Ian is a native Londoner and has spent more years than he cares to remember working in and around London.

His passion and enthusiasm for the city can be very contagious. He is not a guide who rattles off facts and dates just to show off, but he'll show you around in a relaxed and often humorous style.

As well as exploring the main sights and well trodden routes, Ian will take you to areas often missed by tourists. His walks always have a theme.

In addition to running regular scheduled walks, he arranges one-off tours for companies and other private groups. Click here for details.

He also leads tours of Tate Modern, Tate Britain and the Guildhall Art Gallery.
