Great WRITERS' stories brought to
life where they happened
Join us on one of our walking tours and discover the fascinating relationships between London locations
and renowned poets, playwrights and novelists, and hear their work along the way.
2.5 hours
With its clubs, shops and galleries, and a library at its heart, swanky St James's has been a magnet for writers over centuries. Scenes have been set here and masterpieces penned here by such illustrious figures as Virginia Woolf, Ian Fleming, Graham Greene, Aldous Huxley and Evelyn Waugh, and its sophisticated style has perhaps been best embodied by Noel Coward. Meet them all, and more besides, on a jolly St James's Jaunt.
"Tremendous! Mike and Cindy certainly know how tell a stonking good yarn!"
Edith Sitwell, Hampstead
"I've never learnt so much in three hours in my life. Nor have I laughed as much!"
Evelyn Waugh, Somerset
SOHO STRUT (coming soon)
2.5 hours
Sexy and 'out there', Soho has been a home, a heaven and a refuge to writers and visionaries. Come join the (generally very bibulous) circle that at one time or another included Dylan Thomas, George Orwell, Brendan Beehan and Jeffrey Bernard, and discover the Soho connections of women like Sylvia Plath and Dorothy L. Sayers.
