Discover London , one turn at a time.

 Founded by Abdiladif Ahmed, a proud East London local and professional Tour Guide, LondonCompass was born from a simple yet powerful idea — to uncover the hidden stories and overlooked histories that make London truly extraordinary. For over 2,000 years, London has evolved into one of the most diverse and dynamic cities in the world. Yet beneath its famous skyline and bustling streets lies another London — one full of forgotten tales, hidden landmarks, and communities whose contributions have shaped the city’s identity. LondonCompass exists to bring those stories to light.

 Our Founder

Abdiladif has been a professional tour guide for over two years, leading engaging and insightful tours that connect people not just to London’s landmarks, but to its living history. His tours are known for their warmth, depth, and ability to weave together culture, heritage, and storytelling in ways that feel both educational and deeply personal. Over the years, Abdiladif has worked with distinguished organizations such as Numbi Arts and Halal Tourism Britain, completed an internship at the British Museum, and undertaken professional training with the Camden Tour Guide Association. His experience reflects a deep commitment to making London’s history accessible, inclusive, and inspiring for everyone.

   Our Mission

At LondonCompass, our mission is simple: to showcase that London is far more than meets the eye.
