Discover Jane Austen’s London with a historic walking tour

Have you fallen in love with Jane Austen novels like "Pride and Prejudice", "Emma", and "Persuasion"? So have I. On this walking tour, I’ll use Jane’s letters and novels to bring the author’s London to life, uncovering the stories behind every stop. • We’ll start at the site of the hotel where Jane stayed with her family in the late 18th century. • We’ll journey past the gardens, theatres and assembly rooms that Jane visited. Some were prime spots on the “marriage market.” • On our walk through Mayfair, St. James’s and Covent Garden, we’ll learn about her publishing journey from start to finish, including taking in the home of the Prince Regent, with whom Jane had an intriguing relationship. You’ll come away with a richer understanding of Regency society, its allure, and its vices—all seen through Jane’s eyes. Plus, you'll take away a mini guide to Jane's London to remember her experiences by. The next time you read her novels, you’ll be able to picture some of the places she writes about!

Sculpt, paint, and throw with a master ceramist

Whether you’re a beginner or have dabbled in ceramics before, this experience will spark creativity and connect you to London’s vibrant artistry. • I’ll start with the basics of working with air-drying clay—shaping, smoothing, and sculpting—and guide you through the process of designing your own unique coaster. • Next, I’ll demonstrate wheel techniques and teach you tricks to bring balance and form to your creations before it’s your turn to practise shaping clay on the wheel. • Emboss, carve, and paint your coaster with details that showcase your style, from bold London-inspired colors to delicate designs. You’ll leave with your custom coaster, a perfect reminder of your journey into the heart of ceramics in this meditative, hands-on session.

Keats-inspired Hampstead Heath tour and poetry workshop

Discover London’s scenic Hampstead Heath through the poems and life of John Keats, a poet I’ve dedicated much of my career to exploring. • We’ll start at Keats’ house and walk around his gardens, which are beautifully preserved by the Keats Society. • Next, we’ll venture out onto the Heath, the patch of nature that inspired not only Keats but also T.S. Eliot, Virginia Woolf, Francis Bacon, and many other writers and artists. • Finally, we’ll end up at one of Keats’ old haunts: The Flask, a picturesque 1663 pub with a history full of highwaymen, strange initiation rites, and ghosts—in other words, the perfect setting for a poetry workshop. I’ll help you write a poem of your own, inspired by the beauty of the Heath. You’ll leave with your own poetry as well as a zine created to remember your time in Hampstead Heath.

Step into London’s neon history at God’s Own Junkyard

Visite du British Museum : culture et controverse

The British Museum is a fascinating but also challenging place to visit.. the sheer number of artefacts and stories to discover can be quite daunting. This tour will guide curious visitors along a fun and often surprising narrative to discover the beauty of ancient civilisations and to come up close to staggering works of art. There are hidden mythologies, art, mysticism, and history galore. There are also current debates in regards to some artefacts on display. Some of the stories involve violent colonial exchanges, some involve looting, others involve questionable practices of ownership. I try to explain their arrival at the museum and update on their complicated status. Knowing about these stories generates constructive discussion of the issues involved, and I try to cover all points of view and invite my guests to share theirs. This is walk to discuss about all this together on a two hour tour. Some of the subjects we’ll cover will be: Ancient Greek temples and gods Deities and warrior kings from Mesopotamia Roman artwork and legacy Weapons from Australia Anglo-Saxon and Viking treasures Mesoamerican rituals Royal treasures from the Kingdom of Benin Statues and temples from India Artefacts from China Statues and mummies from Egypt …and many more fascinating bits of history.

Bible Study Tour in the British Museum

Join me in the British Museum for a Bible study tour in which the Bible comes alive as we connect museum artifacts to Bible verses. We’ll wind our way through the various galleries and see the world of Egypt as Joseph and Moses experienced it, Assyria as Jonah encountered it, Babylon as Daniel saw it and Persia as Esther and Nehemiah lived it. We’ll explore the Roman Empire in which Jesus lived and the Greek culture that the Apostle Paul preached against. Due to the museum layout, we'll first walk through the Assyrian, Egyptian and Greek galleries on the ground floor. Each artifact we examine dates from the time period of a significant Biblical character. We take a break and then go upstairs to see the Roman, Greek, Persian, Babylonian and Mesopotamian galleries as time allows and your preference dictates. Not only will you come face to face with ancient artifacts that are thousands of years old but you’ll understand your Bible like never before. You’ll have a much better grasp of the history of ancient Israel as well as the cultural forces that affected the birth and growth of Christianity. Photography is allowed so make sure you have plenty of phone memory. Whether you've just started reading the Bible or have more formal training, you’ll come away with an extra dimension to your faith and your knowledge of the Bible. Hebrew Bible tours are available.
