London Poetry Tour With Local Poet

Poetry is everywhere in London - daubed across the bus stops, shining from the street lamps and dripping from the gutters.


To celebrate this rich poetic history, Bookmarked London is delighted to introduce its very first collaborative tour: The London Poetry Tour in collaboration with the wonderful legends at The Poetry Pharmacy. The tour is led by Bookmarked founder and local poet, Adam RW. 

This tour begins near Euston and concludes at The Poetry Pharmacy on Oxford Street where you'll receive 10% off poetry purchases with a tour ticket.

The London Poetry Tour is a tour of but one small segment of London's poetical past and present.

We travel in the footsteps of William Blake, W.B. Yeats, John Keats, Dylan Thomas, Christina Rossetti, Rabindranath Thakur, T.S. Eliot, Viriginia Woolf, Maya Angelou, Kae Tempest, Richard Scott and several others over the course of a gentle 90-minute stroll.

The Route

We begin 1-minute away from Euston Station and conclude at the Poetry Pharmacy on Oxford Street where you can browse and shop to your heart's content. You will get 10% off all poetry purchases with your tour ticket.
The route is gentle and accessible.

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.
