Literary Footprints Festival 2026

Our Literary Footprints Festival is back!

throughout the month of March we will be running Literary Footprints 2026 our unique, annual London-centric literary festival.

Like a walking book club, it will take out onto the streets of London on guided walking and virtual tours researched, written and led by our experienced, professional guides.

You will get to see to where the novels and poems are set, where the authors’ inspiration was born and the avenues and alleyways, buildings and gardens their characters inhabit – places you might normally visit only in your imagination.

The festival features a wide range of over 40 walking and virtual guided tours throughout March, you can find the full schedule here.

We look forward to seeing you on a tour!
