Overview
This is the only tour of London that takes you directly in the footsteps of both Shakespeare and Dickens and is led by contemporary writers working in the city today. Welcome… to London’s Greatest Stories tour!
London has been home to some of the greatest writers who have ever lived: Shakespeare, Dickens, Chaucer, Keats, and more. What's more, the city has also provided inspiration for some of the greatest stories ever told. This is the only London literary tour that walks in those footsteps AND is run by someone who is actually writing the city today.
This is not a dry or dull history tour. It’s a fast-paced, story-driven walk through the lives, scandals, and streets of Shakespeare, Dickens, and the writers who have shaped this city. We will walk in the footsteps of the greats - from Dickens’ childhood to Shakespeare's Globe via Chaucer's Canterbury - and uncover the stories behind the stories, the fights, the struggles, and the moments that changed literary history. Along the way, you’ll hear live readings, surprising anecdotes, and the hidden stories that most tours miss...
