I’m in London, for business and leisure π
Still maintain that the best tour guides for any area are locals.
I was walking along the Thames by Southbank and there was a really wanky tour guide, very posh talking about how Samuel Pepys used to watch the boats from here, etc.
Went round the corner, thereβs a very cockney bloke telling his two American friends how one of the buildings heβd worked on started scorching cars parked below because it was too concave (something the βcheese grater.β)
Much more interesting and great storytelling!
Got talking to them and they were far more interesting than the Oxford educated tour guide lady who just wanted to talk about politics with the French tourists.
(Iβd never do an organised tour btw )
Not a bad skyline developing here!
