The experience

If you've watched Slow Horses and found yourself wondering where Jackson Lamb actually sits, where his team of misfits plots their next move, or what corner of London the show calls home. This walk answers that. You start at Blake's grave, one of the meeting places the show uses, and from there the tour pulls back the curtain on the northwest corner of the City of London where the fictional Slough House sits. It's the kind of thing that only makes sense once you're standing there, seeing how the real streets and the fictional world overlap.

The route takes you through the Barbican and Aldersgate area, where most of the show is actually set, and then to the real-life building that inspired the fictional Slough House: the place where MI5 careers go to die, according to the books and the series. You'll also pass Bank Junction, where key scenes were filmed, and stop at Leadenhall Market, the atmospheric Victorian covered market that appears in the show. The walk is unlicensed and unauthorised, which means it's not endorsed by Apple TV+ or Mick Herron's publishers, but that's also what makes it feel like you're following a trail someone pieced together themselves rather than an official marketing route.

The whole thing is wheelchair accessible, and the tour works for all fitness levels. It's a walking tour of London's City, not a hike. You're moving through streets you could walk on any day, but with someone who knows exactly which doorway, which corner, which market stall has appeared on screen. All fees and taxes are included, so there's nothing to sort out once you arrive.
