The Slow Horses Stroll - a walking tour of TV series and book locations

Prepare to immerse yourself in the authentic London of Mick Herron's Slow Horses novels and the acclaimed TV adaptation.

This walking tour takes you beyond the screen and pages, directly into the streets that inspired the stories and characters you love.

Your guides, Caroline and Nigel, will take you in the footsteps of your favourite bunch of MI5 misfits, and give you a whole new perspective on the city. You’ll see the actual Slough House and other real-life locations where memorable encounters with the Slow Horses take place. And along the way, you’ll discover the fascinating links between the series and London’s rich past — from the medieval heritage of its oldest parish church, to the Victorian grandeur of Smithfield Market, and the striking Brutalism of the Barbican.

The locations are brought to life with some of your guides' favourite extracts from the novels and they'll uncover the production secrets that transform this corner of the city into Lamb’s London.

The Slow Horses Stroll is an unmissable experience for fans of the books and TV series alike (and we promise - no spoilers!). Guaranteed to give you a deeper appreciation for Mick Herron’s masterful storytelling and a fresh understanding of London's hidden history.

The two-hour tour starts outside Barbican Underground Station (Hammersmith & City line) and ends near Old Street Station (Northern line).
