NEWS UPDATE NOVEMBER 2024

Just a reminder that I've left Twitter ("X) but am now on Bluesky Social @Blitzwalker and am actively posting virtual walks and all the usual stuff.

I no longer guide "walk-up" groups (apart from one date per year) but only accept pre-booked tours from private groups. These can range from larger groups from schools, colleges, service groups, right through to smaller family sized gatherings, or groups of friends - I adjust my prices accordingly, so don't be afraid to ask!

Our latest walk covering the Isle of Dogs and looking at the wartime and industrial history of the area is now live and ready to go - more details on the "Our Walks" page.

As the name suggests, we offer guided walks through selected areas of London where, if one knows where to look, there is a vast amount of our wartime history still to be seen and many stories to be told about the Battle of Britain, The Blitz, the V-Weapons campaigns and general life in Wartime London. All of our walks are illustrated with archive photos that provide a ‘then and now’ perspective and feature artefacts from the period for the group to inspect, as well as a wealth of eye-witness personal accounts that help bring the period to life.

Our knowledge of the localities we cover as well as the history of those times, both from the level of the ordinary Londoner as well as those making the top level decisions, coupled with an intimate understanding of the various organisations involved and the hardware used, make our walks a unique and fascinating experience for the walker, whether you are a serious history buff, a member of a school or service group, or just an interested visitor to our city.

We can also provide talks to Schools or any organised groups on London at War, The Blitz, or the ‘Home Front’ in general and wherever possible, we will tailor the talk to cover the locality involved. We also provide research assistance for family history purposes and have also assisted television production companies for programmes such as "Who Do You Think You Are" and "Blitz Cities" in particular. Steve recently filmed two more short documentaries with Mat McLachlan of Mat McLachlan Battlefield Tours from Australia in which we explored the wartime secrets of Westminster. Click here to view it!
