About

Dotmaker Tours lead alternative London walks for students, corporates and groups of family and friends.

Our walks cover parts of the City of London, Central London, Greenwich and The Docklands. They each offer fresh ways of experiencing London — for locals and visitors alike — and richer ways of looking at the world at large. You might find yourself awed by judges in the Royal Courts of Justice, revelling in reflected sounds from St Paul’s Cathedral bells or marvelling at methods of transforming the capital’s dust. 

Dotmaker Tours are devised and led by fully-insured guide, Rosie Oliver. A life-long Londoner, Rosie founded Dotmaker Tours in 2012. She also produces podcasts and audio features for Tickertape Productions. Linking both ventures is a deep interest in London’s soundscape. Rosie’s recording of St Paul’s Cathedral bells Chiming During the Pandemic was shortlisted for Sound of the Year 2020, and her London Ear inspired piece London A to G was featured on BBC Radio Ulster’s Soundscapes show. Rosie has a background as an environmental lawyer working in government and for the UK Environmental Law Association. Her passion for the environment and interest in law and policy informs the content of all her tours.
