Both my wife and I have a good background on the history of London. However, Khalid’s expertise, stories, humor, and archaeological background really brought it all together in a wonderful, fantastic few hours.

Khalid did a wonderful job providing historical context around buildings and monuments that I'd walked past several times before. He was knowledgeable and kind - I learned so much! Would recommend!

We had an incredible experience listening to Khalid walking us through the history of London. He's patient, hilarious and most important of all, he is an expert at his subject.
His goal was less about taking us to as many places as possible, but rather picking the most important areas and going deep into each of it. Exactly the way I'd have wanted it.
Khalid's tour might be pricier than the other walking tours here on Airbnb, but it's absolutely worth it. Do not think twice before booking :)

About me
Professional archaeologist, historian
I'm a professional archaeologist with degrees from UCL and years of fieldwork across the UK, including Roman and medieval sites. I bring deep, first-hand knowledge of London’s history — not just from books, but from the trenches. I’ve worked on major excavations and studied the city’s evolution from Londinium to the present. This tour blends academic insight with engaging storytelling to make 2,000 years of history come to life.
