A tour of Bloomsbury, an area synonymous with literary, medical and academic endeavour. On this tour you’ll hear how a once down-at-heel neighbourhood spawned some of the greatest minds, writers and thinkers of the last two centuries.

Among them, author Charles Dickens and TS Eliot. John Maynard Keynes, perhaps the pre-eminent economist of the 20th Century lived here. He supported the Bloomsbury group, including the writer Virginia Woolf, which helped end the famously straight-laced morality of the Victorian era.

Our customers say...

"Karen's tour of London's Theatreland was a real eye-opener. The stories, characters and local history which Karen told us about had our group engaged for the full couple of hours we spent walking the streets between Leicester Square, Covent Garden and Strand, and it was wonderful to be doing it on a warm Saturday evening just as the area was livening up. Highly recommended for anyone new to London and for anyone who thinks they know Theatreland:; Karen has plenty of surprises up her sleeve, even for the local expert!"

Will, Hampshire

"Karen took a group of us on a tour of Westminster Abbey, Parliament Square, Whitehall and London's Theatreland. Every moment was full of the most interesting facts about great historical moments and monuments in London. Karen was a very attentive tour guide and delighted to answer our questions. Highly recommended!"
