My Interactive Map
I’ve teamed up with an app called Let’s Discover to create a map of all the historic locations I have explored on my Instagram page and in my London blog. Over 450 of my London videos are now searchable in once place via location. So you can subscribe and download my London recommendations directly to your phone.
As I continue to make videos about London’s history, people and places they will automatically be added to the map, so it will constantly evolve with more places to discover.
Now you can carry all of my videos and history content with you on your phone and access it whenever you’re out and about, on your lunch break or exploring in London.

Previously...
In a previous existence, I did some writing for TV, Film and Theatre.
I contributed a series to the Londonist about London's fringe theatres entitled 'Fringe Benefits'.
On a different London based theme I wrote an article for London Calling about discovering the hidden gems of Borough Market.
I also had a piece included in an early edition of Curiocity: London Unfolded, which evolved into a book called 'Curiocity: In Pursuit of London'.
