Literary Walks
The Write Stuff!
 Literary London Tours? You're spoiled for choice. We do just a ton of them.
 
At a risk of belabouring the obvious there's:
 
  Charles Dickens' London every Friday at 2.30 pm from TempleTube. And a nice touch, Jean, who guides the walk, does it in Victorian costume!
 
  Literary Bloomsbury & the Old Museum Quarter every Tuesday at 2.30 pm from HolbornTube.
 
  In the Footsteps of Sherlock Holmes every Friday at 2 pm from EmbankmentTube.
 
  Shakespeare's & Dickens' London - The Old City every Sunday at 2 pm and every Wednesday at 11 am. The starting point for both of them is just outside exit 2 of St. Paul'sTube.
 
  The Literary London Pub Walk every Wednesday at 7 pm from HolbornTube.
 
  The London of Oscar Wilde every Saturday at 11 am from Green ParkTube, the north exit (on the corner). And a bonus - Guide Alan will be "attired" as Oscar Wilde himself, green carnation and all.
 
And those are just the "name" Literary Walks that take place week in and week out.There are several other walks that are hugely literary even though that's not denoted in the title of the walk. Old Kensington - London's Royal Village, for example. Old Kensington is soaked in literary history. Indeed, on a yard for yard, author for author, page for page basis, Old Kensington is probably our most literary walk of all! Anyway, Literary Old Kensington - i.e., Old Kensington - London's Royal Village takes place every Thursday at 2 pm and every Saturday at 2 pm. We meet in the rotunda just beyond the ticket barrier (by the M & S sandwich shop) at High KensingtonTube.
 
Same goes for Old Hampstead Village. Literary-wise it's nothing but magic casements, the murmurous haunt of London poets and novelists. The cup overfloweth - up in Hampstead they're like bubbles winking at the brim. (Yes, you've undoubtedly caught the echoes!). London's first ever literary salon, Keats of course, Dickens, John Fowles, Daphne Du Maurier, D.H. Lawrence, F. Scott Fitzgerald, H.G. Wells, Wilkie Collins, Compton McKenzie, Robert Louis Stevenson, John Galsworthy, the list just goes on and on. And it's not just writers, it's also painters and cinema directors (let alone actors and other celebrities). Easy to understand, that. Hampstead is just so visually appealing - it's naturally going to attract people with a highly developed "visual sensibility". Anyway, we do the Old Hampstead Village walk every Sunday morning at 10 am and every Wednesday afternoon at 2 pm. And we do it as a Pub Walk every Saturday evening at 7 pm. Meeting point is just outside the exit of HampsteadTube. N.B., Hampstead Tube is on the Edgware branch of the Northern Line.
