The area of Bloomsbury has, throughout history been linked to London's culture, intellects, artists and writers. Today while exploring the picturesque neighbourhood, with its cosy public squares, you can stumble across numerous blue plaques and statues marking where notable women once lived, worked and died.
This walking tour will take you around Bloomsbury, walking in the footsteps of writer Virginia Woolf, World War Two Spy Noor Inayat Khan, abolitionist Mary Prince, Britain's first female dentist Lilian Lindsay and much more..!

Charlotte was an informative and passionate guide, who was very knowledgeable about the women spotlighted on the tour (and many others besides!) I enjoyed discovering and learning about inspirational women I'd not come across before, as well as hearing more about those I already knew a little about.

A fascinating and insightful tour, in which we learned lots that we hadn't previously been aware of. Very well led, with enthusiasm and knowledge.

This is my third walking tour with Women of London and as always the morning was wonderful. The tour was well researched and extremely well delivered by Becky. Her knowledge and enthusiasm for the subject shone through. It was a great morning, despite the rain (and the loss of my umbrella!) and my friends and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

We did the Women of Bloomsbury walking tour and it was fabulous. Our guide was very knowledgeable and her presentation style was engaging and fun. The tour is very interested and we all learned a lot, which is saying something because some of our friends have lived in London for more than 40 years. One of the people in our party is going to book this service for a private business event.

My tour of Bloomsbury was fantastic and unique! Charlotte really knows her stuff. The Tour was very expansive with lots of historical detail and stories. A wonderful way to get to know the neighborhood and learn about the women know you and most importantly the stories and women you don't know!
