Real London Walks Walking Tours

Hello, my name is Kevin Larder.I am really excited by what I can share with you.I am a qualified Green Badge City of London Guide and member of the Institute of Tour Guiding. I undertake many walks on behalf of the City of London Guides and Lecturers Association.I am a retired History/ Politics / RE teacher in London of nearly 40 years’ experience. I graduated from Queen Mary College [University London] where I first had the opportunity to undertake walking tours as vacation work. A large section of my degree concerned the History of London.Having come from an East End family I have been able to dovetail my passion for the City alongside my teaching career in London.As a volunteer tour guide since 2009 I developed experience on various walking tours, site tours, battlefield tours abroad, film location bus tours and Thames River tours. I volunteer at Canterbury Cathedral and St Augustine’s Abbey. My previous volunteering experience included Wiltons Music Hall, the Brunel Museum and a summer at Fort Phil Kearny, Wyoming USA.Both teaching and guiding provide a service to other people and allows the satisfaction of getting to see others become excited about my city and my favourite places, whilst also deepening my own understanding.Experienced, qualified, and always entertaining.
