Biopic Details I am an actress, director and singer in amateur theatre. I particularly enjoy Gilbert & Sullivan, musichall, opera and classical music of all kinds. I am very interested in London songs and when travelling like to discover the music of the area.

Some of my favourite and most popular walks are the themed walks in costume such as Peter Pan, Queen Victoria, Goodbye Picadilly -Farewell Leicester Square (see the area in song!).

I previously ran a children's drama school so have plenty of experience with children from pre-schoolers upwards! I have been conducting school trips to London for the past 30 years.

If you are looking for something different for your group let me arrange a quiz or even a treasure hunt for you.

If you have your own ideas or would like me to share some of mine with you, why not drop me a line and we can tailor make an event just for you.
