Londoner #34 | Chris Mann, who flies the London Helicopter sightseeing tours down the Thames

Chris Mann discovered independence at an early age. His passion for skateboarding around the city developed into flying through London’s skyline. Confident he can master whatever he takes a fondness for, Chris left his production design career for West end shows and 12 years ago decided to become a helicopter pilot. Now he owns London’s main tourist helicopter company based in Battersea. Again at the height of a pilot’s career, Chris is reminded by his sons about his original love for skateboarding, they bought him a skateboard for his birthday this year; Chris is cautious as to whether he wants to try it out as he isn’t sure whether he can be the best at it any more
