*Tours start on June 1st 2026*

Meeting point: Margate Train Station

Margate is a seaside town that never quite agreed on what it was supposed to be, so it just kept reinventing itself and hoping nobody noticed.

This is The Margate Walking Tour: 60-ish minutes of sea views, fresh air, strange history, and the quiet realisation that something in your life went seriously wrong.

They move through a place built on day-trippers escaping London like it was a moral obligation, Victorian wellness routines involving being aggressively dunked in the sea, and a coastline that has been politely absorbing everyone’s creative ideas for centuries.

You’ll hear about T. S. Eliot, who came here to recover and wrote part of The Waste Land, which is either profound or what happens when you sit by the sea and overthink everything at once. And J. M. W. Turner, who looked at Margate’s sky and essentially said “yes, that’s the whole thing then.”

The experience concludes at the pub, because all British narratives eventually do if you wait long enough.
