This walk – though it takes several necessary detours off the towpath – is known as one of the most beautiful stretches of waterway in England.

I learned so much about London’s history and character via off-the-beaten path stops and Shaughan’s stories, told with humor and his deep knowledge.

Whether you’re just visiting, moving here, or already live here, I can help you navigate London with ease and confidence. Explore Surrey Docks Farm, which has a working blacksmith’s, dairy, herb garden, and bronze animals.
