London based writer and tour guide with www.londonstreettours.co.uk. My interests include history and folklore, especially London's, and of the river Thames and bridges over that river. I am the author of books about the latter as well as one on the history of nursery rhymes, "lost" English words and football and superstition. Current projects include co-presenting the cult football radio show Cafe Calcio on Resonance 104.4 FM which examines the social, political and cultural aspects of the game. Previous series have featured the Football Art Masterclass, Soccer Dance School and Tacticus a Latin speaking football correspondent. The current one (Street pharmacist's guide to football) examines the links between soccer and narcotics. All of these will hopefully be turned into short books one day soon. From 2007 to 2011 I edited the 21st century penny dreadful called One Eye Grey. These were collections of short scary London stories which in 2012 went electric under the title Stories from Another London.
