The Spooky Book Tour

London is home to and inspiration for some of the most terrifying tales ever told.

The Spooky Book Tour brings them to life.

Bookmarked London is a walking tour company that focusses exclusively on London's rich bookish history.

And we've got something very special planned exclusively for Halloween week.

This is our first Halloween-themed tour and is running for one week only.

The Route

In this 90-minute tour, you'll walk in the footsteps of the creators of Frankenstein, Dracula, Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, the Woman in White and several terrifying others.

See where Mary Shelley, Bram Stoker, Robert Louis Stevenson, Wilkie Collins, Dickens and others took inspiration to craft some of the most macabre and terrifiying ghost stories ever put to paper.

Run by Bookmarked founder, Adam RW, this tour is set to be devilishly delightful.

The Route

We begin in the heart of London's legal district and conclude by a depiction of the decomposing corpse of one of the city's greatest writers.

The route is gentle and accessible. We begin the tour by Holborn station and conclude just across the road from Charing Cross.

Exact start point will be confirmed when you book on GuruWalk.

We loved our Spooky Book Tour in the dark with Adam this Halloween week. We heard some seriously scary stories and visited some deliciously ghoulish spots like the Hunterian Museum. Keep those stories coming - thanks so much Adam!
