CHARLOTTE

Charlotte spent her childhood in London, and from an early age was captivated by its rich history, stunning architecture and sprawling green spaces. The British museum and Hampstead Heath are particular favourite hotspots of hers. As a foodie, London’s many cuisines have always held a special place in her heart, and it’s here she discovered her passion for Chinese cooking.

Food was her gateway into China, and she went to study at the University of Edinburgh to gain a deeper understanding of Chinese culture. Charlotte’s studies took her to Beijing, where she loved to explore the city’s art galleries. After graduating, she moved back to China, and spent some years teaching in Kunming. For an outdoor person like Charlotte, who loves nothing better than to hike the Scottish Highlands, the mountains of Yunnan were a dream!

Since returning to the UK, Charlotte found a new joy in showing her visiting Chinese friends around central London. She’s used this to learn the obscure and fascinating stories behind some of London’s lesser-known sights, and delights in sharing these to our guests.
