Some places hold stories just beneath the surface—waiting to be noticed. Lucia van der Drift helps people reconnect with those quieter layers of history, art, and place.

An accredited member of the Lambeth Tour Guide Association, she is passionate about sharing the rich cultural layers of the area she adores. Lucia is very much looking forward to taking people on guided walks through Lambeth, uncovering stories along the way.

She is a lively and thoughtful speaker who leads events promoting wellbeing through mindful engagement with artworks. Lucia is a qualified mindfulness teacher and regularly facilitates workshops for institutions including the National Gallery, the Royal Collection, and the Wallace Collection. She holds an MA in English Literature, specialising in Renaissance literature, and also facilitates reflective writing. At the heart of all her work is a desire to create meaningful and thought-provoking moments of connection—between people, places, and the stories that shape them.
