How long should I stay?

I recomend at least a 2 week stay. Great Britain has many wonderful places to visit - it would be a shame to cram any visit into a short space of time.

I only have one week - how can I use this time well?

I would recomend that you find central location to stay in London, near one of the mainline train station and take day trips to various interesting places.

Where can I purchase your book?

You can purpase my book from this website. Book People carries copies also. You are welcome to call me and I can send it to you.

How far in advance can I book Santa?

I recomend that you book well in advance. August is when I start taking booking. Generally speaking as soon as you are thinking about planning your event - you should book my time!

What is the story behind the Beefeater Costume?

Henry VII was the first person to use Beefeaters. They were not gentlemen who ate beef - but body guards to the King. The costume was design by Hans Holbine.

“I was extremely glad you were able to join British Airways and us at our last ASTA Chapter meeting and cannot thank you enough for delivering the most fantastic speech.
It was the best supported ASTA event that I have attended since I arrived in Chicago and rarely has the crowd been so attentive. No doubt, this was due to the quality of the speaker and his material, and I have had many people remarking since on how much they enjoyed it and how fascinating your stories were”.

Director, British Tourist Authority

“Lester Morris has taught a number of classes at the Central Market Cooking School….He is not a chef, nor a food writer. He is an excellent showman who happens to cook.
Not only does Lester have a good rapport with our customers, he’s a pleasure to work with.
I am delighted to recommend Mr. Morris to anyone who is looking for an knowledgeable and engaging speaker when it comes to British History, culture and food”.

Coordinator, Central Market Cooking School

“Your interesting and amusing presentation on the history and tourist attractions of Scotland and Ireland provided an excellent and, I am sure, welcome counter balance to my somewhat dry talk on UK economy and trade relations with US.

British Consul, Dallas

“What a delight you are. I guess it’s that English charm and humor.”

“Everyone found your “Tour of England” both enlightening and entertaining”

“I would like tot take this opportunity to highly recommend Lester Morris as a speaker and a guide as related to “anything” British. TravelFest has a customer seminar series and on many occasions we have scheduled Lester to talk about travel to the British Isles. Lester always draws a crowd of at least 50 attendees.
Lester’s style and sense of British history, culture and geography have made him a local expert here in Austin.
I highly recommend his as a speaker, entertainer and a valuable resource.”
