“Official memorials and faded signs on blistered brickwork, medal citations and oral history – we got all this and more on Neil’s Bermondsey Blitz Walk. We came away with a better understanding of what the ordinary people of this historic part of London suffered during World War 2 and the firm conviction that it wasn’t just those serving on the Front Line who were the heroes. Highly recommended.”
Andy Pepper, Lewisham
“Neil led residents of Nelson Square SE1 on a lively walk around local Second World War sites - Neil's walks and talks are a great way to get people interested in history where they live.”
Maxine Walker, Southwark
“Hi Neil, Just to say how much I enjoyed the Blitz walk last Sunday with you and Steve. It was like going for a walk with a couple of mates! London is a fascinating city, with so much to offer and so much that you don't see or hear about unless you go with someone who has 'the knowledge.”
Francis Southgate, Norfolk
“The City of London Blitz walk was highly impressive and fantastic
'value of money'. Leading a party of 13, our friendly guide Neil
imparted facts and figures with great authority and enthusiasm. His
knowledge on the subject and locations is awesome but never dull and I
increased my understanding of what took place in 1940/41 in the City
immensely. I cannot recommend this tour enough and I look forward to
undertaking other Blitzwalker's London wartime guided walks.”
Mark, London (June 2011)
“Informative and enjoyable walks that bring the history of the London Blitz to life, highly recommended.”
Marietta Crichton Stuart, Clapham

John Newall, West Sussex
“I hope you know how much we all enjoyed touring with the two of you. You added so much to our days in London and to our knowledge of the horrible events of World War 2 in your country.”
Libbie Griffin, The Touring Club, New Bern, USA
“Steve.... I was most impressed with not only your depth of knowledge about the effect of the Blitz on the people and buildings of London but also your story telling! You truly brought those landmarks and graffiti to life.”
