Joanna Moncrieff

About Me

After studying at both City University and the University of Westminster I have been leading guided walks in the City of Westminster, the West End, Clerkenwell & Islington and further afield since 2009. Whether you want to see the tourist hotspots or discover London off the beaten track I will have a walk to suit your needs. Born and bred in London I am a London obsessive and apart from having a thorough knowledge of the history of the capital I’ve also got an excellent knowledge of the best historic pubs, hidden gardens, unusual museums, quirky shops and other lesser known treasures.

As a member of two eminent guiding associations I have many guiding colleagues who could help with bigger groups or with a series of lunchtime walks in the same area. See my walks page for ideas but please get in touch if you can’t find what you’re looking for.

Apart from guiding in Central London I also guide close to where I live in Walthamstow and Chingford; in fact my Walthamstow ‘From Monoux and Morris to Beer and Bacon Jam’ walk is a best seller alongside my West End ‘Foodie themed Christmas Lights’ walk.
