Public Appearances
Here's where you can next see me in person:
Friday 26th September 2025- Covent Garden Walking Tour
Arson, ballet, plague, and suffragette throuples – it's all happened in Westminster. On this walk through London's West End in conjunction with the National Portrait Gallery, I'll show you learn about the boxer who tried to stop a riot, the British author who took on Walt Disney, and how to speak the secret code of Covent Garden costermongers.
Saturday 27th September 2025- Chelsea History Festival
The history of London dates back thousands of years. Romans, Vikings, Tudors and Victorians have all called the city home. Over this time, it has withstood invasions, epidemics, great fires, and bombs.
What can we learn about London's history from the things that have been left behind? What can a clay pipe found on the Thames foreshore reveal about the people who lived here? What does the discovery of a Chinese lion statue tell us about London's place in the wider world? And what do the city's monuments and statues divulge about the stories we choose to remember?
