Sophie Campbell

Guide

Exploring London and beyond

Sophie lives in South London and spends hours exploring her city. She has been a Blue Badge Guide since 2011, specialising in long walks, but happily arranges gentler jaunts for guests of all ages.

She guides in London, Bath, Oxford, Stratford, Stonehenge and Salisbury, and loves working with families, corporate groups and professionals or students with a particular subject focus.

Palaces, parks and galleries, dockers, journalists and royals, they’re all here. Have a look at the ideas below – feel free to mix and match.
