Guide: Cathy Aicardi is a resident of Richmond Upon Thames and her enthusiasm for local history, architecture and culture drives her practice to open the door for others to delight in observing the wonder of our surroundings. As a trained public speaking coach and teacher of the interactive teaching method, her style of leading groups will weave in story-telling and a degree of interaction. Aicardi particularly enjoys how the arts: music, theatre, film and painting can unite a community and serve to celebrate creation and diversity.

This tour is led by a participant of Open City’s Golden Key Academy – a new course training up insightful and engaging guides dedicated to explaining London and bringing its many stories to life. It is part of a wider collection of tour events created by Golden Key Academy guides for Open House Festival celebrating their conclusion of the sixth month course.
