London’s bookish walking tours

Walk in the footsteps of London’s greatest writers

Four people standing and talking outdoors near the London Bridge niche. A man with red hair and a vest smiling, another man in a baseball cap and purple shirt, a woman with blonde hair and a white jacket, and a woman with dark hair and glasses wearing a green jacket.

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.

About Me

Three women and one man smiling and talking outside near historical informational signs, with buildings and trees in the background.

Hello! I’m Adam - local writer, performer and ex-lawyer who has swapped courtrooms for cobblestones. I am the chap who will be guiding your tour.

Bookmarked is my love letter to London’s literary greats. I was ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ reviewed on TripAdvisor and GetYourGuide before going fully independent this summer.

I 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).

I run publicly bookable tours and pub crawls in the footsteps of some of the capital’s greatest writers.

I 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.

Four people smiling and taking a selfie in front of a historical building with half-timbered architecture, a brick wall, and an outdoor poster about Shakespeare's Globe.
Adam was super knowledgeable and the tour was accessible, a gentle walk and packed with facts and interaction. 5 stars, no notes. The parents loved it. Thank you!

Adam’s a wonderfully engaging storyteller and guide, and this experience was really insightful, quirky and enjoyable — I’d wholeheartedly recommend it!
