About the guide
My name's Benny and I've been a tour guide for the past six years. I've lived in South London for my whole life, so when my tours of Central stopped (along with the tourism) in 2020, it seemed like a good time to read up on the local area, and make a cool tour for my friends and neighbours to enjoy. This tour is the product of that research, stories I've heard that have made me laugh or lean in, sewn together into a neat, covid-safe hour and a half walk. I hope you can make it along!
