Fabulous tour of Chelsea
Kerry_D, 01-06-2022
Jack was a wonderful and charming guide. He knew the neighborhood and the history very well. He was thoughtful and answered all questions we had. He also made lunch reservations for us at a great restaurant. Highly recommend to all visiting London to take his tours.

Jack is excellent! He really does put the 'bespoke' in Bespoke Britain and his tours are so perfectly customised to his clients and guests! Had the best time and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him and one of his tours!
Everything you need to know about Chelsea

We had a wonderful experience on the Chelsea walking tour with Jack. He is born and bred in this area and knows it like the back of his hand. Without him we would have (and did) walk right by the shop now know as the "Worlds End" on Kings Road - run by Vivienne Westwood which was the iconic "Sex" back in the punk days. Each of the family members found a treasure in there and have a great story to share. He had knowledge and entertaining stories about all corners of Chelsea and packed a lot into the tour. Highly recommended!
A wonderful afternoon in historic Chelsea

We had a blast on this walking tour of Chelsea! Jack kept us engaged the whole time with interesting anecdotes and charismatic storytelling, and tailored our tour to suit our curiosities. I especially loved learning the rock n' roll history of Chelsea, mixed in with royal and military history. Jack also added a personal touch to the tour having grown up in Chelsea, and he was able to point out quirks of the neighbourhood and its buildings that other tour guides may have missed. Having lived in London for 2 years myself, I learned a lot and saw the city with fresh eyes - I would recommend this tour for locals and tourists alike.
Excellent
