About me

I have lived in Holloway, London N7, for almost 35years. I moved to this part of North Islington from Romford in 1988 and haven't yet found good reason to leave because, in addition to the area's diverse social and shopping facilities, it is layered in fascinating history, as well as being a convenient hub to connect with the City, the West End or green spaces further afield.

Having spent years writing up my observations via my blog janeslondon.com I decided guided walks in the real world was the next logical step. My delivery style, like my personality, is inclusive, open and friendly – I like to engage with the group I am leading and this leads to a marvellous knowledge exchange. 

During 2020's lockdown I started offering online talks and tours via Zoom and this has enabled me to connect and share with people all around the world. It's been a delight. 

The varied subjects I cover showcase the different facets of my personality and the things I am genuinely interested in, such as art and design, sculpture and architecture, pubs, parks, old signage and advertising. Every tour I offer, whether a walk along the streets, a presentation online, or a talk to a group in a school hall, is designed, researched and updated by me personally, having checked, cross-referenced and contradicted (!) the 'facts' available. As such, everything is a work in progress and I am always happy for attendees to correct me or add to the story. 

Suggestions and bespoke commissions are always welcome.

I hope to see you soon,
Jane
