Featured Tour
Step beyond the guidebooks into Bloomsbury's leafy Georgian squares, elegant townhouses, and hidden cobbled mews. Uncover the stories of the rich, the poor, the forgotten, and the Victorian philanthropists who tried to change their world.
The Route
Ten extraordinary stops through the hidden heart of Bloomsbury. Every corner has a story — here's a taste of what awaits.
Begin at the magnificent Fitzroy Hotel — formally the Russell Hotel. A beautiful Victorian landmark with remarkable, little-known links to the Titanic.
Georgian terraces, independent shops, and blue plaques overhead. Look down at the pavement and discover hidden trinkets — symbols of the tokens mothers once left behind.
In 1739, sea captain and philanthropist Thomas Coram obtained a Royal Charter to establish a hospital for abandoned children living on London's streets. One of the most moving stories in the city.
Built in the 1700s for the rich and powerful, every residential building here slowly became a hospital. Discover how it all ties into the madness of King George III.
A charming, pedestrian-friendly street dating back to Tudor times — Georgian architecture, independent boutiques, and a village-like atmosphere in the heart of London.
Today a picturesque cobbled lane of million-pound townhouses. It began life as housing for the horses and servants of the wealthy families next door.
Return to Thomas Coram's extraordinary legacy — the site of his hospital for abandoned children, and one of the most poignant places in all of London.
Learn how this square got its name, meet the famous residents who lived here, and hear about a scandalous court case that reached all the way to the King.
Known as The Colonnade — a 19th-century stabling yard for cab drivers' sick horses. A hidden slice of Victorian London that most people walk straight past.
The heartbreaking story of how Dr Charles West founded the hospital, appalled by Victorian child mortality — and its unlikely, magical links to Peter Pan and J. M. Barrie.
Your Guide
I've spent a lifetime falling in love with London's corners, curiosities and contradictions. As a trained historian and lifelong Londoner, I don't do rehearsed scripts — I do real stories, told with passion, that you won't find in any guidebook.
My tours are for curious people who want to feel the city, not just photograph it. Come with questions. Leave with stories.
