Highlights

Designed and delivered by an award-winning novelist with a PhD in Creative Writing, these tours use London's rich literary history as a prompt for a series of writing exercises, designed to suit all levels of expertise, from novice to novelist. The workshop combines literary history and anecdotes of the city with readings from major English writers, but it is not a passive experience: you will respond to the environment in creative ways, in an atmosphere of kindness and inclusivity. These intimate and unique workshop seek to inspire and invigorate.
