Mark Gunning

Mark was born in London (although not within the sound of Bow Bells) and, after studying history at the London School of Economics, had a 36 year career in financial technology, mostly based in the City.

36 years was enough and Mark decided to learn more about where he worked and to share his knowledge and enthusiasm for this fascinating and historic area to others by qualifying as a City of London Guide Lecturer.

He has subsequently extended his passion to Westminster and has qualified for London’s other city as well. 

Mark’s walks

London’s Glorious Theatres

“Mark – that was such a special afternoon.  We were unanimous in saying what a great afternoon it was and how you somehow found the perfect balance between walking, talking and answering questions.  Pitched perfectly and there was so much of interest and so many things we all learned.  A masterpiece!  (Ho ho)” Martin
