Adam writes… The Spring Bank Holiday of 2026 falls on the weekend ending Monday 25th May. If you’re planning a private walking tour for the day off, please keep in mind that Bank Holidays are always a very busy time for London tour guides. Get in touch as soon as you can to book a private tour for that weekend – use the form below to check my availability. (Updated 28th March 2026.)

The weekend also sees Bob Dylan’s birthday on Sunday 24th and to mark the occasion, I’m staging an outing of A Complete Unknown – Bob Dylan In 60s London. This walking tour is a Small Group Tour and sold out on every outing in 2025, so booking is strongly advised.
