I am Host
Hello! I'm Shivam, your go-to local host in this vibrant city called London. London has a unique buzz - from those classic pub nights after work to the electric nightlife of Soho. I've got a sixth sense for finding the hidden treasures in London's foodie scene – everything from Ethiopian bites to Québécois comforts. When it comes to the arts, I'm in the know about the latest West End shows, and where the real music magic happens – jazz bars, hip-hop joints, you name it! I'm known to wax lyrical about the parks in this city which gave rise to England's best footballers, and as for history? Let's just say I've spent some quality time with the statues in Parliament Square. I'll help unravel London's mysteries like Sherlock, minus the deerstalker hat. So, let's explore the nooks and crannies of this diverse wonderland together. Ready for an adventure? Let's do it

Shiv was a fantastic tour guide. He was extremely informed, enthusiastic, and patient in allowing time for photos as we moved from one location to the next. I’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting London and seeking to get a crash course in history.

Shiv was an amazing guide. We covered more of London than we thought possible and he went above and beyond expectations. He was a great conversationalist and planned a perfect walking tour to see all the sites in the allotted time. Couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience. Thank you Shiv!!
