I give talks and lectures on London history, lost London rivers, city walking, coastal landscape and plenty of things I’ve not thought of yet. I have talked at Caught by the River events, Salon for the City, Stoke Newington Literary Festival and UCL Urban Lab among others, and have given a Royal Geographical Society Monday Night lecture. I have also talked on Radio Four, the World Service, BBC London. You also watch me on film in the Fleet sewer, or listen to me be being interviewed for the Doctor Who Show.
Do email me if you would like to arrange an interview or talk.
