Ups and Downs of Life in Medieval London
Karen is the best guide that our local history society has encountered in many years. On an unseasonably cold and very wet June morning Karen inspired our group with stories of the highs and lows of life in medieval London. At each stop she gave us a very clear short talk which was full of information. Despite the somewhat awful weather, all our group greatly enjoyed the whole walk.

Sculpture in the City
The sculptures themselves were interesting and by well-known artists. It was fascinating to see them set in the nooks and crannies of the City. Karen was a great guide -she provided just the right amount of information about the background of the sculptures and the setting. We thoroughly enjoyed the Sculpture in the City Walk and would highly recommend it. H Stacey |
Women of the Angel
Fascinating walk around Angel with Karen, she really brought the history and lives of women in Angel to life and had a great mix of women from all walks of life. Karen was really knowledgeable and energetic despite the heatwave! Thanks for finding us lots of shade. I would thoroughly recommend this walk. Bethany Williams |

50 Shades of Gray's Inn Road
I must say how much I enjoyed your walk up the Gray’s Inn Road. The area is fascinating, and though I have lived in it for many years, I now know far more about it, thanks to you. The ratio of walking to stopping and listening is ideal - a short stroll and then another interesting story about someone or something. Thank you, Jo. AB |
Residents, Rascals & Riots
Jo is a flawless guide and continuously provided interesting facts and anecdotes.I would thoroughly recommend these walking tours to anyone interested in exploring London off the well trodden tourist track. Katherine Burgess |
The Angel - a Watery Walk
This was an excellent birthday present for a friend. A lively and fascinating insight into the history of all things watery in Islington. Particularly appreciated the way Karen talked about things - relaxed but very clear, reaching all in our group. Paul Cox |

A Bear, a Bard and a Basin
Karen is an excellent guide, warm, friendly and very informative. Everyone on our walk around Paddington Basin, Regents Canal, Little Venice and Camden had a thoroughly enjoyable day. Would definitely recommend and use Lansdown's London again. Judy Martindale - Edenbridge U3A |
2,000 Years of History in 90 Minutes
We enjoyed the tour immensely, even the Londoners amongst us learnt facts that hadn't heard before! We really felt as if we were getting 'off the beaten track' and seeing things other tourists wouldn't come across. MW |
Cool Clerkenwell
We had a great Clerkenwell tour with Karen a couple of weeks ago. She is very knowledgeable and knows the area very well. We had all sorts of weather including rain -as you do on a summer day - which didn't put anyone off. Thank you, Karen! Raquel & Craig |

Made in Clerkenwell
Thank you so much Karen for yesterday’s tour in Clerkenwell, your encyclopaedic knowledge and delivery are superb. Never have two hours past so quickly. The four of us are looking forward to booking other tours with you in the near future. Joe McHugh |
