I really enjoyed the Ghostsign tour round Stoke Newington. Sam's (the tour guide) enthusiasm for the subject really comes through. He is also really knowledgeable about the area and you will also learn a lot about the local history and the background of the signs themselves. A very enjoyable afternoon!

Thanks for your kind words. Who knows why I'm passionate about these old signs but the main thing is that comes across and makes the tours enjoyable for you and others.

I went on the walk Sam arranged especially for the Hackney Society, and it was a wonderful experience, finding out about the history of both the ghost signs I had already noticed on my travels plus some I had never noticed, een though I have lived in the are for nearly 40 years.

Thanks for the feedback. I know that the Hackney Society are a group of well informed locals so it's always good to hear that you get a lot from the walk.

Booked the Ghost signs tour to do with my parents as we always try to find different things to do in London when they come up. The tour was brilliant, I can't believe it's all around where we live. I've seen a few bits but it's great to find out all about it. Good balance of information without being overloaded and good circuit of the area. It was surprisingly nice being in a small group too. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone interested in doing something a little bit different or just intrigued by what it is. Great way to spend a Sunday afternoon!

Sam is a friendly and competent guide who knows his stuff. I felt like I was seeing my usual neighbourhood anew. Ghost signs are really interesting and Sam teaches you so much in this informative tour.

I'm always pleased when I can show other locals things they've never noticed before, but also when you all point things out that I haven't spotted. Thanks for the feedback.

The ghost signs tour led by Sam was fantastic. He is really knowledgeable on the subject and has thoroughly done his research. He also made it very interactive which was great. Great photo opportunity and there are so many ghostsigns in Stoke Newington – you never walk very far before you spot another! I would thoroughly recommend going on the tour. Top marks!

Thanks for the feedback, you're right about the frequency of ghostsigns in Stoke Newington, it really is a national hot spot.
