A Self-Guided Audio Tour

in September 2025 I released my first audio tour! I have turned by Covent Garden guided tour into a self-guided audio tour on the app VoiceMap and it is called Spectacle, Sin and Uproar: A Hidden History of Covent Garden.

VoiceMap is GPS triggered so you simply press play, you can put your phone away and I talk you through exactly where to go. Find out more here or click the image below.

My Two Books

There are nine self-guided walks across both my books! Find out more here.

My second book, London: The Hidden Corners for Curious Wanderers focussing on historic alleyways, secret gardens and hidden pubs
first book
My first book, London: A Guide for Curious Wanderers, that focusses on the overlooked details and oddities around the metropolis

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Best London walking tour I’ve been on! Excellent tour. Jack is very engaging and clearly loves what he does. The tour was thoroughly researched and always fascinating. It touches on some real gems along Strand, along with some great Strand facts. 10/10 would recommend.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Historical Touring at its finest! We’ve been on a few previous walking tours and while Jack’s walking tour (of The Strand) focussed as much on history as it did on architecture, it was simply fascinating! Jack showed us so many hidden nooks and crannies and shared with us so much from London’s past that we were totally hooked! And all this delivered by a thoroughly affable and generally very knowledgeable chap. Just beware of his solid myth-busting!!!
