Hello! We're Bookmarked London - an independent group of London writers, poets and actors who are in love with London's rich literary and bookish history. All our tours focus on the bookish side of London and the inspiration some of the greatest writers of all time have taken from this wonderful city. All Bookmarked tours are run by either Adam, a local writer and poet, or Leo, a local actor and writer.
Adam is a full-time tour guide, poet, writer, event host, (recovering) lawyer, football fan and keen hiker. His first poetry collection Poetry Will Have To Do was published in December 2023 and he runs a weekly storytelling night called Storytime London. He also manages and runs Bookmarked, which runs these literary walking tours, as his full-time job.
Leo is an actor and writer. He has appeared on Waterloo Road and Doctor Who on the BBC and he played the lead in Creation Stories, a film about the life of Alan McGee. He is also a stage actor and founded and ran the theatre company, Gutter Street.
Such a fun and informative tour! I really enjoyed the weaving of english literature, poetry, and history provided by Adam. His energetic delivery and personal touches demonstrated passion and true appreciation for the written word. Such a wonderful investment of my time! I left there wanting to reread written works and read new ones.
Leo' enthusiasm, passion and professionalism are untarnishes by guiding me solo. I learned alot and am impressed by all the stories about literature laureates. A great tour for me.
Really interesting and informative tour, thank you. Adam was welcoming and friendly and kept us entertained and engaged throughout the tour with interesting facts and great storytelling. We were a small group and there were interesting conversations between us and with Adam as we walked. A really good tour led by an excellent and enthusiastic guide. A great way to spend an hour and a half. Highly recommend!
