London day companion · North London specialist

Spend the day in London with someone who lives here.

I'm Thomas. Not a scripted tour, just a day with a local — getting you around, steering you to the good places, and changing plans whenever you fancy something different. I know all of London well, with North London — Highgate and Hampstead especially — as my particular patch.

About

I'm Thomas, a Londoner who knows the city well — all of it. Highgate, Hampstead, and the villagey streets around them are my particular patch, where I know every corner, but I'm just as much at home showing you the rest of London too.

I'm not a guide with a script. Think of it more like spending the day with a friend who happens to know London properly — someone who can get you around confidently, point you to the places locals actually go, and shift plans on the fly if you'd rather sit somewhere for a while or do something else entirely.

I get around mostly by public transport — quicker than sitting in traffic — though I do drive and can use the car if that suits your day better. English only, for now.

I'm LGBTQ+ friendly and very happy to host gay couples, families, or groups of friends — everyone's welcome to a relaxed, no-fuss day out.

How it works

A day out, shaped around you

01

Getting around

I'll get you confidently across the Tube and bus network, or drive if that's easier for the day — no time wasted being lost or overwhelmed.

02

Honest recommendations

Lunch, coffee, a pint, a park bench — wherever locals actually go, not the tourist-trap version of London.

03

A flexible day

No fixed itinerary. If you want to linger, change course, or slow down halfway through, that's completely fine.

04

Someone useful to have around

Questions, problem-solving, general company — I'm there to make the day easier, not to recite facts at you.

My patch

North London, properly known — and all of London besides

  • Hampstead HeathWide open, genuinely wild for central London — best explored without a map.
  • Highgate Cemetery & villageQuiet lanes, old pubs, and one of London's most atmospheric corners.
  • Kenwood HouseA stately house on the edge of the Heath, with grounds worth the walk alone.
  • Hampstead villageSteep streets, hidden courtyards, and good places to stop for lunch.
