David and Prue were extremely knowledgeable, structured the tour in a way that allowed snippets of interesting information to be mixed up with quirky facts of Mayfair and St James's , and the finish at the V&A was the cherry on top. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a top quality tour in London
