Some words about me

Hi, I'm Lianne, the "Storyteller Mouse" of London City Mouse Tours, and I love sharing stories about the City’s rich history. After spending over 30 years working here, I decided to turn my passion for the past into a new career, becoming a fully qualified London City guide in 2024, and a Westminster Guide in 2026.

With a flair for the dramatic, I bring London’s stories and characters to life. Whether I'm leading visitors through winding alleyways, conjuring up the smells and sounds of the overcrowded ancient streets, or sharing gripping - and often grisly - tales of London’s past, I make every tour a memorable experience for families and adults alike.

If you’re looking for a journey through time, filled with intrigue, drama, and plenty of fun, I am your guide!

Reviews

These tours are brilliant. I have been on a few, each led by Lianne who is a fabulously engaging and entertaining guide. The walks go at a leisurely pace with plenty of interesting stories and quirky facts leaving you with a real sense of the history and culture of an area, without having been 'lectured'. Great fun.

I've been on a couple of walks with Lianne and they are always brilliant! She's so knowledgeable and the walks are always so much fun. I highly recommend!
