Not only did we learn about the history of pubs but also the wonderful neighborhood we toured in. Wonderful experience, brilliant young women, and we would definitely tour with them or {Totally} Tailored again.

The tour guides were happy to answer questions, and clearly know their stuff and are passionate about what they were showing us and talking to us about. I drank some really nice beers too! I’ll definitely be booking other tours of London with this company.

Somerset House is a large Neoclassical building situated on the south side of the Strand in central London just east of Waterloo bridge. This Georgian quadrangle which was built on the site of a Tudor Palace belonging to the Duke of Somerset was designed by William Chambers in 1776.
Its wonderful fountains are highly interactive and the perfect spot for some socially distanced Summer fun!

We're excited to announce that Charley will be collaborating with @invisiblecitiestours and @invisible_paul1 at the start of next month for three live virtual tours.

Who is looking forward to the new Renaissance?
From May 17th indoor hospitality reopens, including most of the U.K's amazing museums and galleries.
We've just discovered our favourite London bench!
The inscription reads 'those who cannot forgive break the bridge over which they themselves must pass'
This is a line by the Welsh-born Anglican priest and poet George Herbert (1593 - 1633).
The concrete bench was designed by MSMR Architects to mark the 200th anniversary of the nearest bridge.
Who can tell which bridge that is?
The clue is in the arch. 😍🇬🇧😎
Almost a hundred years ago in 1922 Ada Salter became the Mayor of the then borough of Bermondsey. She was the first woman Mayor to be elected in London. Despite opposition she pursued a policy of greening the borough.
Her Beautification Committee planted thousands of trees, 10,000 tulip bulbs and built public baths, children's playgrounds and better, healthier housing.
@jparkersbulbs kindly donated another 10,000 tulip bulbs to local residents at the #bermomdseystreet festival, last year in Ada's honour.
This is our part of the picture. About to flower on #grangeroad. Thank you J Parkers and thank you Ada Salter. #ada100 #myjparkers
Is there any better view of London than from the top of a public bus?
Totally Tailored founder Charley is doing live-streamed virtual tours from the top of a double decker every Sunday. They are free to join and a great way to witness lockdown London.
The route changes each week and is only announced at the start of each 45 minute tour! Link to book in bio. Come ride with us!
Tomorrow marks the start of Women's History month.
Have you considered brushing up on your 'herstory'?
Jasmin and Totally Tailored have teamed up to develop a one-to-one fully interactive (and fun!) video call course on four amazing and historical women.
Four one-hour private video call sessions with Jasmin can be worked out around you or your kids' schedule. And as no two learners are the same, your course content can be #totallytailored
to you.
Featuring science experiments, clay, paper aeroplanes, performance and #mariecurie #bessiecoleman

It feels like we could all do with a little something to look forward to at the moment.
So we thought it a good time to announce an exciting new experience we will be putting on as soon as we are able.
Farm tours in rural Scotland.
Get up close and personal with Highland cattle, rare-breed pigs and sheep on the stunning 300 acre Milton farm, set on Lake Venachar just over an hour's drive from Edinburgh. Safely pet and feed the animals and learn about lambing, the wool industry and life of a farmer in Scotland direct from the farmer and her family. This is the perfect stop-gap on a drive to the Highlands or as part of a longer visit to beautiful Callander which has some stunning lochside walks and a village with award-winning restaurants.
Trafalgar Square at 4.10pm today.
NB: For those who joined my 'Live', the fountain intruder was escorted to safety by police just after our tour and just before this photo was taken.
Props to @terrydougherty1 for his impromptu ditty!
Charley is bringing the outdoors indoors with regular virtual tours of London.
These are live, roaming (that is Charley walks through London she presents) and she interacts with a live chat feature too.
It's a free way to witness lockdown London, get a taste of our tours and get a feeling of travelling at this difficult time of restrictions.
From London bridge to Tower bridge at 3pm GMT tomorrow or a new Trafalgar Square tour at 3pm GMT on Thursday
Link to book is in the bio.

Linus is our very own Harry Potter guide and also a very talented actor. His opening night of his much anticipated solo show became his closing night due to the UK's lockdown.
Connect with and learn from Linus in this, a private and practical 4-week course on monologus which can be done at anytime and anywhere to suit you.
Just message us if you are interested.😍📖
Edinburgh may not have got a white Christmas but it certainly got a white New Year.

2020 was a challenging year for us and many others. But we're grateful for the unique lessons it has taught us and the amazing support of all our followers.
Here's to a bright and expansive 2021!
Usually in December we publish a list of stats and figures to show how our small tour company has grown.
This year we’ll keep it simple. We are beyond proud to announce:
‘We survived 2020!’
One of the ways we did was by redeploying our excellent tour guides as virtual tutors with our new Totally Tailored Learning project.
Here’s Jacob and Mackenzie in Michigan during their ‘Change- making women of history’ 4-week course with Jasmin.
Jasmin’s excellent storytelling and creative approach (think clay, paper aeroplanes and acting classes) combined with the power of zoom transformed her former tour guests into keen and happy pupils. Here’s what their Dad had to say about the experience,
‘They had HUGE smiles after class. It was the most fun that can be had on zoom.’
Jasmin’s course is available in the new year, scheduled at a time to suit you.
Learn more about this course and our other offerings by clicking the link in the bio.
Always something new to see at Borough Market.
Did you know that during a day London's River Thames goes up and down up to 25 feet?
At low tide these muddy 'beaches' are exposed. Weird and wonderful things can be found which all tell a story about the city's 2000 year past.
Our most modern discovery today was this half buried and battered #Santander hire bike, known to Londoners as a 'Boris bikes' after the Mayor who instigated them.
New *Virtual Tour* announcement!
This Wednesday 2nd December at 2pm founder of Totally Tailored, Charley will be giving a virtual live streamed tour of this - her favourite stretch of the river Thames.
This 30 minute tour is free to join from anywhere in the world.
See bio for link to book.
This picture was taken this morning by @stinkmonebuttshaw and features just one of the delights you'll encounter with Charley on this virtual 'London Bridge to Tower Bridge' tour.
