Step beyond the guidebooks into Bloomsbury’s leafy Georgian squares, elegant townhouses, and hidden cobbled mews as you uncover the stories of the rich, the poor, the forgotten, and the Victorian philanthropists who tried to change their world.
On this walking tour, you’ll hear tales of royal scandal, abandoned children, a world‑famous children’s hospital, and literary legends including J. M. Barrie and Charles Dickens. Discover where George III was treated for his “madness,” see the former home of Virginia Woolf, and visit the church where Ted Hughes and Sylvia Plath were married, once known as the church of the chimney sweeps.
You’ll also meet an unscrupulous property developer with a very strange name and step inside a grand hotel with remarkable links to the Titanic.
Every stop reveals a different layer of Bloomsbury, from Georgian elegance to hidden histories and extraordinary human stories.

Our first stop is at the Fitzroy Hotel, formally the Russell Hotel. Learn all about this beautiful Victorian building and it's stories linking it to the Titanic.
Set amongst Georgian terraces and independent shops and cafés, with an array of blue plaques overhead, stare down at the pavement and you’ll discover hidden trinkets symbolising the tokens mothers once left behind when handing their babies over to the Foundling Hospital.

5.00This is a great tour and Maxine is a superlative guide. Bloomsbury is both lovely and historic. All flat tour (except for a few steps), so it's easy to negotiate. Maxine is not only knowledgeable but also a great story teller. You cannot appreciate the history of Bloomsbury without doing this tour. Highly recommended!
A lovely guided walk!

5.00Maxine is a wonderful guide. She is very knowledgeable about Bloomsbury, but also the greater London area. She was able to bring the past of life in a sensible, engaging experience. She’s very personable and loves people and sharing her life experiences as well as the wonderful stories that Bloomsbury has to offer.
Fabulously entertaining and informative

5.00I used to love navigating new places on my own, but that was the naivete and arrogance of youth! I am so grateful to myself for beginning my stay in the neighborhood with Maxine's walking tour—being introduced to Bloomsbury by a local enabled me to discover so many quaint bookshops, cafés, and scenic points of interest I never would have found on my own with just a few days to explore . . . and I was able to ask questions, benefitting from Maxine's vast knowledge and experience. Do yourself a favor and indulge in this tour!
