Biography: A Londoner born and bred (Anglo-Italian roots) and a professional Blue Badge Guide (Winner of Tower of London Award, 2008), I am also a City of London guide and have a Master of Arts in History of Art, focusing on the 19th and 20th Centuries with extensive work experience in the art world. I specialise in Art Historical Tours, especially of Modern and Contemporary Art and can guide the major art galleries as well as small contemporary and commercial spaces. I also have an interest in museum guiding, such as the BM, V&A, etc. and in gallery education. I can also tour all the major London and out of town sites with coach panoramics. I am passionate about London, a city that has a fabulous story to tell, a story that spans some 2,000 years of history, culture and famous personalities. My job, as a guide, is to act as interpreter – to allow not only London to tell its story, but also to allow the key sites outside of London to tell theirs as well.

Special interests: As mentioned above I specialise in museums and galleries and art historical tours.

I also particularly enjoy working with young people whether in student groups or families. I am also happy to work with groups of foreign language students in English - I am CELTA qualified and have learned foreign languages myself so can make the English accessible.

Sarah will do walking tours.

Lectures given: Lectures in British Art and Architecture, the Museums and Galleries of London, Artists' London. With notice I can prepare lectures on many of the London sites of interest or on specialist art historical subjects.
