Viv has a degree in English Language and Medieval Literature from Durham University. She spends part of each year in France, but for the past 25 years London has been home. Following two years of intense training she qualified as a Blue Badge Guide, coming top in her year. She lectures regularly to trainee Blue Badge Guides on the subject of Monarchy
and is never happier than when she is showing the royal sites of London to her clients, and chatting to them about today’s royal family. She particularly enjoys giving individuals and families in-depth tours of London focusing as much on the hidden and unfamiliar as the well-known. She has a particular interest in the great aristocratic landholdings of London, and has created walks around the 'villages' of London such as Chelsea, Bloomsbury, Belgravia and Bloomsbury.
