In this original walking tour we will explore the beautiful world-famous squares of Bloomsbury.  With its unmatched heritage of writers and big names in the London literary world from Charles Dickens to Virginia Woolf, Beatrix Potter to George Orwell, W.B. Yeats to Gandhi, Lenin and plenty more. It has a quiet cultural atmosphere that still resonates to this day and you might be inspired to write a best-seller yourself. Even if you don't know the writers, this is the part of town that everyone imagines London to be with tree lined streets, beautiful garden squares and black iron railings and so offers something for everyone. Another of our pioneering and original tours, lamely immitated by others!

This was a fabulous stroll through the area of London encompassing the haunts, history, and heritage of many great writers. Mike and Cindy were excellent guides. They infused the history with recitations of poetry and prose, enacted brief scenes between literary greats, and basically enchanted the group from start to finish. My favorite was the stop at the building where my favorite poet, W.B. Yeats, lived and worked.

I’m not sure what I expected when we signed up for this tour but it was very pleasant! We loved Kevin. He was very knowledgeable and clearly very passionate about all things history. We got to see many lesser known parts of London that we would not have seen on our own just like the description implied. This coupled with history, WWII information and general information about London, the culture, and the people was a jolly good time. The tour was slow and there was ample time for questions and small talk about what we were seeing or wanted. Definitely would recommend! Kevin is very well traveled in his own respect and we loved having him!!!

An informative and enjoyable walk around Bloomsbury learning about the famous and creative past inhabitants. Stephen was a knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide with a very easy manner and a relaxed way of delivering information and facts. Great fun as a late birthday treat. He even laid on the sunshine (well, possibly!)
