Shakespeare, Dickens & London's Greatest Stories Free 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. It's rated 4.9+ for storytelling, fun, and overall experience. 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...

Round every corner, down every backstreet, and in (almost) every pub in London is inspiration for one of the greatest stories ever written... I look forward to showing you!
