Our guide was Angela, an actress. Their knowledge of the Inns of Court and its history was encyclopedic. She made the tour extremely fascinating and brought her theatrical education. She didn`t need a microphone because her performance was clear, bright and concise and not without a lot of humor.
She was an absolute joy. The two-hour tour flew away. I have lived in London in the past and worked not too far from where the promenade was centred, but I never thought such places existed and so close to the main arteries that run through the city. I will definitely try more of these hikes in the future, but for the sheer joy of Angela`s wonderful tour, you really have to do this one.

I`ve walked with Shaughan before and he`s great. Full of knowledge and humor and his acting skills are a bonus when he tells great stories. Highly recommended. Every man who was in an episode of Rumpole Of The Bailey (like Shaughan) deserves 5 stars, but Shaughan also earns 5 stars for the ride.
