One of the best parts pf doing tours is the potentiality of being a conduit for someone to really connect the city with their own personal story. For example, the pic shows lovely gent D'Arcy who is an Historian. On the last tour he made the connection of my story of King George V visiting the Lace Market on the even of WWI with a personal memory of his Great Grandma saying she had folded the very Lace that was gifted to the King on that occasion at the Birkin show room on Broadway. Nice, eh?!
