See locations that inspired the works of Dickens and Shakespeare, visit the home of Bridget Jones (it was of course, a book first) and discover the site from which Chaucer's pilgrims set off in April 1386.
In addition to these literary legends, your guide - book loving enthusiast Josh - is excited to share some of his favourite novels and their links to this iconic area, just South of the River Thames.
