Emma was born and brought up in London. She studied history and law at Cambridge University then became a Barrister at the Inner Temple. She joined the Government Legal Service with responsibility for human rights cases and later worked in the Court of Criminal Appeal. She left legal practice to bring up children George and Claudia and returned to work in 2007 founding a small art tours club. She took a degree in History of Art at Birkbeck College, London University specialising in British Art of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. She became a Blue Badge Guide to London in 2016 after studying for 2 years and taking lots of exams. She has decided not to do any more for the time being. While she has intimate knowledge of the major tourist sites, she also knows the hidden away nooks and crannies of London with its endless fascinating treasures for all “studious and curious” travelers.
