Josh was amazing. He was very helpful, informative, insightful, energetic, and sensitive to everyone’s needs. There was a good range of food and drink and not too much walking - yet enough to see and learn about various aspects of the South London borough market area. I would go with him again
Thanks Andrew! Great to hear Josh struck the right balance of food, walking and history, while making sure everyone was looked after.
