We start at Holborn Station and look at the Kingsway Tram Tunnel before walking up Southampton Row and visit Tavistock Square with its associations with Charles Dickens and Virginia Woolf. Dickens lived at the location where the British Medical Association and Woolf lived at 52 Tavistock Square, now the Tavistock Hotel. We cross Marchmont Street Leigh Street and find the Norfolk Arms a favourite pub of Kenneth Williams' mother Louie Williams.
Opposite the Norfolk Arms we find Collinge & Clark booksellers at 13 Leigh Street which was used as the exterior location for Black Books starring Dylan Moran and Bill Bailey.
