About Us

A few words about who we are...

Most of the women we learn about in history fall into the category of Queen and Suffragette. We are taught that some women ruled, most had children and eventually got the vote. Up until recently, this is the narrative that history has presented. 

Our Women’s History walking tours are here to show you that there is more to uncover; after all concentrating on the men in history is only half the story.

Women actively changed and affected history, as nurses, politicians, writers, factory workers, teachers, mathematicians… the list is endless! Our world today is built upon the actions of these women and we hope our Women’s History walking tours will help to tell their stories.

Our walking and museum tours focus on a range of women throughout history, from all types of backgrounds and classes. 

We now offer six tours across London, three inside museums and three outside, our tours run all year round, come rain, or shine!

a few words about

Our Guides

We are experienced, professional and passionate guides who will show you the history behind the Women Of London and present it to you in an interesting way!  

Company Founder & Tour Guide:
London born and passionate about history, tour guiding seemed like the perfect job. Becky began guiding over 7 years ago whilst studying History at University and made it her full time job once graduating. The only downside was that she felt not enough Women’s History was being discussed. So in 2018 she launched Women Of London to challenge this. As the company founder she  spends most of her time growing the company and managing tour bookings and requests. She still finds the time to host occasional tours and continue sharing the stories of Women throughout history.

Tour Guide:
Charlotte is originally from New Zealand. After completing her Masters degree at the University of Auckland, she worked extensively in theatre (both performance and production) and business development. Charlotte moved to London in 2007, which has been home ever since. In 2010 she’d had enough of corporate life, so decided to pursue her interest in history and London life – and train as a tour guide. She has been working as a professional tour guide ever since, covering all parts of London as well as Oxford.

 

Tour Guide:
Emily began her foray in tourism back home in Canada while working at a remote fishing resort, giving nature talks on a commuter ferry, and touring guests through the Rocky Mountains. Since moving to London, she has earned her stripes working on open top buses, serving afternoon tea at luxury hotels, and guiding for other companies. Emily spends her spare time hunting for her new favourite pub, singing in a folk choir and browsing the history sections at London bookshops.

 

Tour Guide:
Matilda comes from Austin, Texas. She moved to Paris in 2011, and there she got her first job tour guiding. A lifelong history nerd and irrepressible chatterbox, it was a perfect fit. She has guided in Paris, Washington DC, and, since 2019, in London. Matilda feels passionately that history is not boring, and has dedicated her career to disproving this myth. She loves shining light on the lesser told stories in history with Women of London. 

Tour Guide:
Roslin fell in love with history during her undergraduate at the University of Glasgow and then fell in love with London after she moved there in 2011. She never lost her passion for history though and took up a Masters in Early Modern History at King’s College London. After a number of years working both in the legal corporate world and in the heritage sector at the Museum of London, Roslin decided to take up tour guiding at the beginning of 2023. She currently works as a Visitor Engagement Assistant at the Houses of Parliament, so she loves taking guests around the historic City of Westminster and telling them the incredible stories of women in politics and the suffrage movement.

Tour Guide:
Stéph is a bit of an army brat, hailing from the Netherlands, growing up in Austria, studying in Edinburgh, and calling London home for the last eight years. She would like nothing better than to follow in the footsteps of amazing literary women like Austen, Brontë, or Rowling. When she’s not writing, she’s tourguiding around all parts of London since 2012. In love with the city and its hidden corners, she loves showing London off, highlighting its history, and the achievements of the many women who helped shape it.
