Hi, I’m Luke – a Margate local, history enthusiast and tour guide. I run a Substack called Borrowing Cats and love sharing the stories you won’t find in guidebooks – from smugglers and windmills to riots, ghosts, and forgotten figures. My walks are informal, fun, and packed with quirky local history. Whether you're a visitor or a local, you’ll see Margate in a whole new light.
We can talk all things Margate and I'll advise some great places to eat, drink and shop.
