private guided tours from london

Sunbury Antiques Market runs on the second and last Tuesday of every month (see calendar). 

About 45 minutes from central London it features over 700 stalls and is one of Europe’s largest markets. This is the dealers market - where they get their stock but it is open to the public. You can enter as early as 6.30 am but most arrive around 8 to 8.30 - it’s all over by 2 pm. The market offers a fascinating insight into the antiques trade. Meet eccentric dealers, barter for the bizarre and possibly spot a celebrity!

We will collect you from your hotel or cruise terminal in a luxury Land Rover Defender 130 (Britain’s answer to the Chevy Suburban) and take you to the market. As a seasoned antiques dealer, i can guide you through the market or merely point you in the right direction. I am happy to advise on purchases and help with negotiations. If you need items shipping home, we can arrange this for you

In the afternoon, we can add lunch and a half day tour of one of London’s prettiest boroughs, Richmond upon Thames. Sometimes known as ‘Rockstars upon Thames’ because of the number of stars that live or have lived there - Mick Jagger & Jerry Hall, Pete Townshend, Ronnie Wood, Keith Richards. The Rolling Stones payed their first gig here at the Crawdaddy Club in 1963. Actors Tom Hardy and Richard E Grant. Brad Pitt also owns a home here. Much of Ted Lasso was filmed in Richmond and we can take you around the famous locations.

Founded by Henry VII in 1501 when he built Richmond Palace, this beautiful town on the River Thames features fascinating alleyways of shops, restaurants and bars and a wealth of history. Richmond Green offers some of the mosts expensive houses in London. Richmond Park, originally King Charles I private deer hunting park in the 1500’s now features herds of wild red deer
