About This Tour

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!

We have earmarked this tour as especially safe during the Coronavirus outbreak due to generally quiet places that we visit where social distancing is generally not a problem. All of our tours are private so it is just you/your family and your guide.  To make it easier and safer for all concerned we would suggest starting this tour a little later than the usual time, perhaps around 10.30-11am which allows us all to miss rush-hour. We are happy to still come to your hotel to meet you but for the moment we would suggest meeting us at the tour starting point.  This allows you to arrive by a taxi or uber rather than public transport. Please feel free to wear masks throughout or at times during the tour.  Your guide will also have a mask with them.

Meeting Point

Just outside Tottenham Court Road Underground Station but the front door of the Dominion Theatre
