My Picture Gallery
This gallery shows some of the places that can be visited during private tours in London and across England. From historic landmarks and famous buildings to countryside landscapes and traditional towns, each tour offers the opportunity to experience the rich history, architecture, and culture of the country.
All photographs used on this personal website were taken by me over many years while travelling, studying, and guiding across England. No outsourced images have been used, with the single exception of William Shakespeare’s Chandos Portrait, which is a public domain image from Wikipedia traditionally attributed to John Taylor.
Photography has always been one of my personal interests. Although I consider myself an amateur photographer, I plan to take this hobby to a more advanced level in the coming years by attending technical courses and developing my skills further. During the past few years my main professional priority was the London Blue Badge Tourist Guide training, which required a very intense period of study and preparation. Having successfully completed this qualification, I now look forward to deepening my knowledge even further while also improving my photography and video work, which allows me to document the places I visit in a more professional way.
Every tour is different, and the locations shown in this gallery represent only a small selection of the many places that can be explored. The collection will continue to grow as new tours are created and new destinations are visited.
Whether walking through the streets of London, visiting historic cities such as Oxford or Canterbury, or travelling to sites like Stonehenge, Windsor, or the villages of the Cotswolds, each tour is planned to give visitors a memorable, informative, and enjoyable experience.
Since 3000 BC, it all started with an ancient burial ground, and these enigmatic stones were erected from 2500 BC onwards. A sunny and lucky day.
Potterheads will immediately recognise this Gringotts Bank chandelier, inspired by the Australian High Commission in Aldwych, London.
Here is a handsome Stratford upon Avon goose. Perhaps you may wish to hear the story of Old Tom in Leadenhall Market, London. Shakespeare time.
Kent was one of the kingdoms of the Heptarchy in the age of Alfred the Great, between the 5th and 9th centuries. Today, it is considered the Garden of England. Lovely Dover tulips.
Windsor Castle is the oldest inhabited castle in the world. It began to rise in the same era as the Tower of London, under the Duke of Normandy in the 11th century.
Leeds Castle’s motto feels absolutely true: the loveliest castle in the world. Yes, its beauty is extraordinary. Much of its story goes back to the Norman world after 1066.
The Cotswolds’ Venice is Bourton on the Water. Cotswold villages attract many national and international visitors from around the world. Stunning.
Battle Abbey is perhaps one of the most magnificent sites in England. Its history and architecture were transformed in 1066, and again in the 1530s and 1540s.
Lovely Bath, so often a winner in Britain in Bloom. The Parade Gardens offer real pleasure to visitors after the Roman Baths.
Salisbury Cathedral is one of the jewels of England. New? Since 1220. Oh yes, the terms “old” and “new” can be a little complicated in England.
Lovely Westminster Abbey, London’s Royal Peculiar and coronation church, the black box of English history. The story began with St Dunstan in 960.
The Royal College of Music was one of the visions of Prince Albert in the 19th century. We will explore all those ideas together in Albertopolis.
The English countryside is absolutely delightful. Four seasons, all moods, all times. Especially between Bath and Stonehenge, where nature welcomes you.
King’s College, Cambridge. Founded by a king, though not a warrior king but a scholarly 15th century monarch. It remains one of the gems of Cambridge.
How could I forget beautiful St Paul’s Cathedral? Its story goes back to 604, and Sir Christopher Wren’s design, in its fifth version, dates from 1711.
Bonjour, Calais. The connection between France and England goes much deeper than many people think. After all, there was even a land bridge 10,000 years ago.
