London Literary Private Walking Tour Of Bloomsbury
Overview
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!
