I am a qualified schoolteacher and have taken many school classes on field trips to explore historical sites around London – the city where I live and work. I am fascinated by royal myths and legends and spend many weekends exploring the city’s hidden corners and cultural landmarks. I know a lot about British history and landmarks and encourage discussion and critical thinking about the past and its influence on the modern world. I like to share my passion of history with visitors to London and I have planned travel itineraries for Airbnb visitors from around the world. I am also a trained artist and storyteller and bring historic events to life through stories, images and video clips.
Print my fact sheet. Optional activities on the sheet throughout the lesson. Have pen, pencil and colour pens handy.

Several of the famous prisoners who were kept in the Tower of London were executed. We will mention that fact. There might be mention of medieval weapons such as bow and arrow. We talk about this in age-appropriate language.
