Tony Hay<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

It was on Westminster Bridge in 1802 that poet William Wordsworth wrote \u201cEarth hath not anything to show more fair\u201d. Would he still feel this way about the city two centuries later? Join Tony on a walking tour and make up your own mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tony is a qualified City of Westminster guide, a born Londoner and a Westminster resident. He enjoys exploring the city\u2019s streets, squares, alleyways and gardens looking for clues to its rich history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s no coincidence that Wordsworth\u2019s fair city was seen from a bridge over the River Thames. London\u2019s rivers, large and small, have been central to its history. Tony has been boating in London for over thirty years and loves London’s canals and rivers. Join him to learn more about how water has shaped the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Densely populated cities need vital services to support them. Tony\u2019s professional experiences in the energy and telecommunications industries drive his fascination with the “how” of the city – the systems and networks that make it function. Join him to learn more about some of London’s hidden histories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
