One of "The best London Walking Tours" Time Out London - 2023

​London walking tours that are fun, informative, informal and best suited to the incurably curious.  

​Bowl Of Chalk provide regular 'pay what you want' group walking tours in London on weekends and tailor made 'private' tours during the week. 

If it's your first visit to London, or you've lived here your whole life, a Bowl Of Chalk walking tour is a great way to discover, uncover and experience London.

However, I would say that ... but Bowl Of Chalk has been featured in The Guardian, The Independent, Time Out London's 101 favourite things to do, on BBC Radio 4, on the European travel website, Go To Town, German Deutsche Bahn magazine Mobil and Time Out's 'Best London Walking Tours' 2020.  

​Incidentally, Bowl of Chalk is cockney rhyming slang for ‘walk’. If you don’t know what cockney rhyming slang is then look it up, or I can tell you when we meet. 

You see, you’ve already just learned something about London and you haven’t even come on a Bowl Of Chalk yet.

Want to join a weekend walk in London?

As of July 2022, the three weekend walks I've been doing for 10-years will be no more. 

Instead, I'll be offering a rotating smorgasbord of 11 (yes 11) different walks around London. x3 on Saturdays and x3 on Sundays (this may vary) including new areas like King's Cross, Hampstead, Clerkenwell, Smithfield and my only 'themed' walk ....the Great Fire of London.  

Walks will be approximately 1.5 / 2 hrs long, but still work on a 'pay what you want' basis. 

You can find descriptions of the new walks on the 'Weekend Walks (as of July 2022)' page and the schedule below.

Interested in a Private Tour?

If you're visiting London during the week and still fancy coming on a Bowl Of Chalk then please let me know because I'd love to show you around. I also do wanders around Westminster, including Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament and places like that, or can suggest a one off fun walk around London that might tickle your own particular Londony taste buds. Please see the Private Tours section for more information.
