A Lit Girl's Guide to London

"The streets of London have their map, but our passions are uncharted. What are you going to meet if you turn this corner?" - Virginia Woolf

Even the most apathetic of readers will be charmed by the rich literary history of the City of London. It’s impossible to turn a corner without coming nose-to-plaque showing you a writer’s birthplace, or a pub the Greats got pissed in before penning a classic. The city is a treasure trove of the past, both literary and general (the spot where Anne Boleyn met her untimely end is just off the District or Circle lines) and with a little help from one of our favorite London-based writers, Genevieve Wheeler, we’ve dug up our Lit Girl-approved spots to help guide some of your wandering.
