My walking tours are a natural progression of Jane's London – my blog/website where for the past decade I have been writing about my London observations and marrying them with collections of my photos such as this collection of 'white' places in to tie in with the snowy weather we had in March 2018.

Ghostsigns
On my ghostsign tours you'll hear fascinating stories behind these old forms of advertising such as bogus potions, big brands, small traders and clever marketing.
Info and booking here for walks in Camden, Kentish Town, Covent Garden & Soho, Kings Cross, Holloway, Archway and Angel/Upper Street.
Other areas coming soon.
See here for more about ghostsigns.
And, can you help me to decipher this one in Islington?

Coming soon
I am brimming with ideas for more walks.
I just need more time!
Listed below are some tasters of some of my works-in-progress, yet to be completed.
Please also see the News and Events section.
If you have ideas of your own, perhaps a particular subject or theme that you are interested in that would make a good walking tour, then please do get in touch. Here are a few ideas – women, artists, animals, shops, churches, children, music, health...
I also provide guided commentary (when required) on Hidden Depths canalboat tours which moor at Granary Steps, Kings Cross.
Many tours go through the 200-year Islington Tunnel – a wonderful experience through a marvellous feat of clever engineering.
Boat trips can be booked for parties and events. Please contact Hidden Depths for more information
*minimum group size 5 people (adults) or 6 people inc concessions
