Our guides

All our guides have completed the Camden Tour Guides’ Association training course, and over a year have studied the past and the present of the  Borough of Camden and learned how to guide on the streets and inside buildings.   They have passed four examinations (two practical, two written), and wear the badge of the association shown on the right.   As members they are also covered by insurance when guiding on the streets. 

Many of our members are qualified in other areas of London. Each offers a unique and fascinating approach to history and modern London.

This page lists our guides in a random order.  It’s also possible to search for guides in the box just below, and also see an alphabetical list of guides
