I discovered communist London on a literary walking tour
Conrad’s Secret Agent and the Anarchists was one of six different literary-themed walks we offered for the Footprints of London Literary Festival. If you missed the festival look out for our literary themed walks throughout the year.
Next up is Sue’s new Waterloo in Fiction walk tomorrow evening. There’s still just time to book.
Tracy Chevalier’s Burning Bright brings William Blake’s Lambeth to life, Michael Sadleir’s Forlorn Sunset explore’s the seamier side of Victorian London, while for Sam Selvon’s Lonely Londoners of the 1940s, the station is a place of nostalgia. Above all, it is a place of arrival and departure.
What’s to come?
Not so many public walks this month as we have a number of private commissions. We offer all of our walks for private groups and we are very happy to design a bespoke walk for you.
As usual we are supporting London Open Gardens this weekend and Sue’s walk, Fanny Wilkinson’s Green Lungs for London is sold out!
