Used to live in Brazil scribbling in his note pad and drinking coconut water on the beach all day. Reported for The New Statesman from Afghanistan, the Middle East and other places. Was based in the northwest frontier of Pakistan as a Winston Churchill Fellow and travelled in disguise to Taliban-controlled tribal areas. Founded Undiscovered with Marco in 2010.
A founding father of Undiscovered, Marco is also the frontman of London band They Uncultured as well as one half of vegan streetfood upstarts Young Vegans. He is currently the proud owner of a fantastic beard, which he twiddles and strokes when deep in thought or engaged in intellectual conversation.
Our delightful Head of Operations. Jesse is the one responsible for piloting The Undiscovered nimbly through asteroid belts and solar storms. Without her, we’d be space dust! A Londoner born and raised, with French roots, she can speak three languages fluently. Jesse caught the travel bug young and hasn’t stayed put in any one place for long. But home is where the heart is, so, after several years in Oz, living the dream and working as a personal trainer, she returned to the city that she loves, leaving the sun and sand far behind. Where might you find Jesse when she is not in command? Life drawing classes, working up a sweat at the gym or at yoga, socialising with the people she loves, feeding her shopping addiction or, more often, giving Tim a run for his money on the dance floor.
A la française! Martin is fresh off the boat from the country of good food and romance. A mountaineer and sport aviation pilot, he also speaks fluent French, English and Spanish. Having worked in five star hotels around the world he has decided to get away from the rich and the famous for a more human and alternative approach to travel. Now he gets paid to party in Camden and mastermind our marketing campaigns.
A songwriter and guitarist from London, Ali is also studying for a Masters in Psychology. Why? He does not know, but hopefully a degree in psychology will help him figure it out. When he is not pub crawling or playing live music on our Camden Walking Tour, he is preparing songs for his excellent band, Medicine Ball.
Originally from up north, Dale migrated to the big city a few years back to pursue his musical interests. Leads our walking tours with charm and wit, and can often be seen strumming his guitar on our Camden Markets and Music Legends Tour.
Works in operations and leads walking tours with aplomb. A Camden boy born and raised, he’s also a music producer and DJ under the name Kisch with regular DJ slots at huge clubs like Ministry of Sound
A soothing voice calming the crowds on our walking tours. Eddie is an actor and musician from Oxford. He trained at Rada and since moving to London has never been robbed, which he attributes to looking like he doesn’t own anything worth taking anyway. He’s socialised with the rich and famous and used to have a few big names in his phone book, until he lost his phone.
A northerner living in north London. Alongside leading pub crawls, he also writes songs for Sony and fronts his rock band. He likes to party, slightly addicted to ice cream and is never short of a good story. He knows most people in Camden, from the bar staff to the bouncers, the cleaners to the cabbies, and is always excited to meet more.
A true Gentleman of the Road. Luke, grew up riding shotgun round London in his father’s cab. Since then, he’s travelled in more than 70 countries, danced in a Bollywood movie and met the Dalai Lama. Now he’s back in his hometown introducing people to the city he loves.
King of logistics with a big heart and the reason our map and guide gets delivered all around London on time. He knows the city like the back of his hand and plays fussball the way Hendrix played guitar. He and Sam grew up on the same street and have been friends for ever.
A native Londoner who knows the metropole like the back of her hand, Morgane guides groups to famous historical attractions and secret streets. She is fluent in English, French and German, and is widely considered the member of Undiscovered London most likely to become world leader. When the sun goes down and the moon comes up, it’s time to party. She works on the Camden Pub Crawl, ensuring that everyone has a fantastic time.
An unashamed geek, when not poring over a comic book, dusty tome or trying to figure out a Metallica song, he’s acting somewhere – or at least trying to. Born in London, schooled in London, still lives in London, will probably never leave London, he knows a bit about London.
Failed actress and world traveller terrified of flying. Future bride of Prince Harry (unbeknownst to him). Lover of language (I can count to ten in six languages). Highlight of my life: getting stuck in an elevator with Tom Cruise and realising I was taller than him. I love London because everyday there’s something new to do, new friends to meet, and food to eat. I can also play the recorder through my nose whilst tap dancing.
A Camden boy born and raised, when not leading Camden Pub Crawls, Alev travels and films documentaries. He dreams of owning a camera-equipped submarine and voyaging in the deep – an adventure Undiscovered London is eager to finance (providing we can tag along). A latter-day Jacques Cousteau in the making.
An East London native, Bliss is studying Special Educational Needs, Culture and Society (yes, that is a real degree) and has spent most of her professional life fighting for the underdog. A grime, hip hop and Drag enthusiast, she embraces the rough edges of the world and sees no fun in perfect! Working on both our Camden Pub Crawl and East End and Street Art Walking Tour, Bliss loves to show people the dark and otherwise unexplored corners of her hometown!
From the land down under, Daniel ran his own events management company before he packed his bag and decided to travel the world. More than two years and umpteen countries later he ended up with us at Undiscovered London. An indispensable part of the management team, Dan runs pub crawls and is involved in all aspects of the circus and social experiment known as Undiscovered London. He still travels, but we make sure he always comes back.
Kinda like a cross between The Dude and Animal from The Muppets armed with a camera. Wild man, photography ace and all round good guy.
A former hand model from Australia, Hayden is now better known for his moustache. He is a buoyant leader of Camden Pub Crawls, always friendly and welcoming. One day he will do something complex with his economics degree but for now he’s taking it easy with us. Give him a deck of tarot cards and some fried chicken and he’ll tell you the future.
Don’t be fooled. Beneath her sweet exterior is a mind as sharp as a samurai sword and a precision eye for detail. She has degrees in film, history, business management and who knows what else. She worked in operations, was responsible for innumerable things, and is also a gifted contemporary dancer.
