My first self published book is called “Its not Notting Hill, its Ladbroke Grove”. The aim of the booklet is to provide more information to tourists who visit the area. I was recently on the Robert Elms Show on BBC Radio London. You can listen to the interview on BBC Sounds here –

Mr Elms said he would do blurb for the booklet. Once that is received the booklet will be revised and physical copies printed. It is currently available on Amazon.

My second book was called London off the beaten track and as the name suggests it is a guide book to London.

My first book for 2026 is a book inspired by Jane Austen. It is entitled “Jane Austen’s World”. It will be available on Amazon in mid January.

In March 2026, I hope to have a book entitled ~Lesbian Lives” published. This book goes with the Radclyffe Hall walks that I do once a month, on the last Sunday of the month. The walks are offered from March to September. The starting point is Cafe Nero at Notting Hill Gate (South side exit). The walks costs £7.00 per person. Children are welcome to accompany parents. There is no sexual content of any kind. I would not imagine that it would be of interest or even comprehensible to young people under 16. As it so happens, Agatha Christie also lived in the area. We make a short detour to visit her home.
