Stephen King
Westminster Tour Guide
I’m a part-time historian, full-time Londoner and fully qualified tour guide. Introducing guests to the secrets of my hometown is a passion. My tours aim to uncover the often overlooked histories and hidden backstreets of London. Nothing pleases me more than showing a local an interesting gem that they have been walking past for years! My tours are friendly, fun and informative and will happily take you for a detour to find the best ice-cream shop.
I have a particular love for south of the river, Borough and Bankside, the often lawless, but always fun bit of London. When not touring or thinking about walking tours I like nothing better than reading about Victorian palaeontologists.
Oh, and I have a phd in Oceanography – now, that’s another story!

The guided walk around Clapham Common was superbly led by Stephen King, who was warm, engaging and extremely knowledgeable. It was of ideal length and contained a wide range of contrasting stopping points along the way, covering local, national and even international history, as evidenced by the pause at the plaque on Holy Trinity Church in memory of William Wilberforce MP and his fellow abolitionists who worshipped at the church and lived in the locality. I recommend this walk without hesitation. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
Had such a fabulous afternoon. Steve was a wonderful guide – interesting and knowledgeable. The walk was a great pace and it was so nice to be somewhere so green and away from people and traffic. Have already booked another for a few weeks time.
