Your guide to the greatest city in the world
If you're new to the city, I'm going to make you feel like one of the locals- if you've been here for a long time, I'm going to show you something you've never seen before.
Mavericks: Coming Soon!
Breaking away from history as told through the lens of kings, queens and nobles, this book instead lifts the lid on 24 fascinating stories of little-known underdogs, mavericks, trailblazers and oddballs.
These poignant and often hilarious true stories show us that the world
as we know it was built by a wider array of historical figures than we
experienced in our schoolbooks.
About me
My name is J. Draper, and I've lived in London for years, studying all
the nooks and crannies and little details that even seasoned Londoners
sometimes miss. You might know me from TikTok or YouTube, where I
teach fun titbits about my city's history. I've worked in museums and heritage my whole adult life, and now I'm taking the plunge and starting out on my own!
Having lived in London most of my life (50+ yrs), Jenny was still able to surprise me and opened my eyes.
Jenny was brilliant, bright, accommodating and hilarious. The tour was fascinating, educational, exciting... I am definitely going to book for one of her tours again in the future!
