Clare has lived and worked in London for over 25 years. After graduating with a Degree in Geography and a Masters Degree in Environmental Planning from Nottingham University, she worked as a town planner and urban designer in one of the most dynamic, diverse and probably most challenging cities on earth - London! Employed in both the public and the private sector, she specialised in regeneration policy guidance and the conservation and renewal of protected buildings and historic areas in several of London’s Boroughs. Before starting a family in the 1990s, she travelled extensively throughout Africa and Madagascar, working as a volunteer on several self-help community projects. She spent two years training to guide around London and now has the pleasure of telling London’s fascinating planning and architectural story to visitors as an official Blue Badge Tourist Guide, bringing her own personal insight into many of the city’s landmarks!
