Explore London with Stephen Drake-Jones

Explore England's Capital with English Historian, Stephen Drake-Jones

Stephen was born in England and educated outside London and for more than a decade from the 1980's to the 1990's, while working as a Professor at the Center for International Studies in Madrid, Spain, took US study abroad students on week long visits around this great city. For the last 10 years, Stephen has enjoyed his role as Chairman of the Wellington Society of Madrid, where he arranges and leads tailor made private tours for businesses, families with children and college groups wishing to get an authentic and interesting insight into London's history.

As King Richard III is one of his heroes, Stephen's anecdotes at the Tower of London are rich and entertaining. His stories of whose head was lost on yonder block are not to be missed! At Saint Paul's Cathedral we gather at the great crypt to meet, so to speak, two more of his favorite people in history, Wellington and Admiral Nelson both buried in tombs side by side. A visit to Churchill's War Rooms and the Sherlock Holmes' Museum at 221B Baker Street round out your interesting day with Stephen.

Visit the House of Parliament to meet his friend and Member of Parliament (when in session), tour the fabulous Westminster Abbey, take a boat trip to Greenwich for a tour of the Maritime Museum, visit the National Gallery and Portrait Gallery. A walk along the Thames to visit the Globe Theater, the Tate Modern Art Museum and even Vinopolis

can be added. And, of course Stephen knows the best old worldly pubs for great pub lunches and perhaps a pint of beer in whatever part London you may find yourself in.

Stephen enjoys planning each tour to suit the interests of your group and can easily adjust the schedule to accommodate business meetings, conferences or other obligations.

Please email Stephen at chairman@wellsoc.org for more information or help planning your visit to London.
