About Your Guide
I’m Khalid, a professional archaeologist with a decade of hands-on experience, including working for the Museum of London. I grew up in Manchester, but it was in London where I found my calling.
After earning undergraduate and post-graduate degrees in archaeology from the British Institute of Archaeology, UCL, I’ve excavated sites across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. But it's London’s layers of history that truly captured me.
My mission? To bring the city’s past to life, not through textbooks, but by standing where history happened. These tours are my way of sharing the incredible discoveries we’ve made, and the stories behind them, with curious minds like yours.
