I am an investigative journalist, a history buff and a lover of London. Creating treasure hunts around this amazing city is my way of merging these passions and satisfying my boundless curiosity. There is so much to learn everyday about this city, it blows my mind! Let me share this knowledge with you.
Where you'll be
I have done a lot of research on places in London with historical importance, that are very interesting yet less well known even to Londoners. They are always open to the Public but most often overlooked. To the discovery of these places I plan on adding lots of enthusiasm and imagination to make London's history come alive. Lastly the clues and riddles I have created add an element of fun and adventure.
