London’s bookish history
Walk in the footsteps of London’s greatest writers
London might well be the city with the richest literary history in the world. Round every corner is a scene, a park or a pub that has inspired at least one of the greatest writers in the English language.
Welcome to Bookmarked London. We’re a group of London writers, poets and actors who are passionate about London’s rich bookish and literary history.
We run private tours for corporate groups and school groups. We also run a range of publicly bookable tours through GuruWalk:
London’s Greatest Writers: A 90-minute walk around London Bridge in the footsteps of Shakespeare, Dickens, Chaucer and Keats.
London’s Literary Ghosts: A 1-hour 45-minute walk from Charing Cross to St Paul’s in the footsteps of Mary Shelley, Bram Stoker a number of notable ghosts.
We bring London’s literary history to life with wit, heart, and the occasional bit of gossip and/or swearing (though will tone this down if there are kids on the tour).
We run publicly bookable tours and pub crawls in the footsteps of some of the capital’s greatest writers.
We also run bespoke private tours. I will script and devise a route based on your favourite authors for differents group, and generally do stag/hen-dos, book club outings and birthday parties.
