Phil Wright was born and raised in East London. Phil was shown London by his Dad from the top of the number 25 bus. The seeds of a life long love of the City and London were sown.
The City of London and neighbouring Clerkenwell and Islington is jam packed with sites and history. Hidden Roman remains, gardens, award winning modern architecture, medieval guilds and over 20 Wren churches.
As an accredited City of London Guide, a Green Badge Guide for the City of London and an accredited guide for Clerkenwell and Islington, you can be assured of Phil's training and experience to provide you with a safe and interesting 90 minute walking tour.
If no date is shown for a particular walk, please do contact me and we can find a date that works. All walks can be run as a one off or tailored for you.
Phil brings his passion and love for the City of London into his tours, and we really appreciated the many little touches he did to personalise our experience.

"Having worked the last 15yrs of my career in the Square Mile, I wondered a little if I’d get much out of an area I thought I knew so well. And that’ll teach me and teach me it did! The guided walk was fun, informative, and brilliantly put over by you. Thank you! I learned so much about the City that I didn’t know and all of it delightful."
"I organised a walking tour with Phil as a surprise for my husband. We'd met while working in the City of London, and were absolutely blown away by the tour - it was super interesting to hear the rich history of the buildings we'd walked briskly past so many times and how the traditions have weaved their way into our everyday language. Phil brings his passion and love for the City of London into his tours, and we really appreciated the many little touches he did to personalise our experience. "

"On a drizzling, quintessential day in London, my husband and I had the pleasure of touring the city with Phil. In the days leading up to the tour, Phil's thoughtful pre-planning ensured he tailored his tour perfectly to us which made the experience truly memorable. Phil even brought spare umbrellas -- a very thoughtful touch especially for international travelers with limited luggage space.
Throughout the tour, Phil's love of the city and knowledge of its history was undeniable -- allowing us to ask questions on topics not specifically outlined in his tour. Equal parts informative and entertaining, we look forward to our next tour with Phil."

"I just want to thank you again for a really outstanding walk. Everyone involved has contacted me to say thanks for organising saying how much they enjoyed it.
The comments ranged from how interesting it was, how knowledgeable you are, how clearly you speak, how great the coffee/loo stop and chat was right through to a chorus of“when can we do it again”.
It was perfectly pitched and basically flawless - right down to the weather."
