Early life
Walker was born in Stepney in the East End of London and has an older brother. She attended Saint Nicholas School at Old Harlow in Essex, and Forest School, Walthamstow. She undertook acting classes from the age of 12 in order to speak to boys.{{cite web |title=Spooks: Nicola Walker |url=http://lifeofwylie.com/2010/10/05/spooks-nicola-walker/ |work=Life of Wylie |date=5 October 2010 |access-date=28 February 2013}} Interviewed in 2014 by The Daily Telegraph, she said, "I was really encouraged by my mother. My dad thought it was a ridiculous thing to do."{{cite web |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/theatre/10735392/Nicola-Walker-Ive-got-a-feisty-face.html |title=Nicola Walker: 'I've got a feisty face' |first=Jasper |last=Rees |date=4 April 2014 |work=Telegraph.co.uk |access-date=1 February 2015}}
Walker studied English at New Hall, Cambridge, becoming the first member of her family to go to university.{{cite web |last=Scott |first=Danny |title=Time and place: Nicola Walker |url=https://www.thetimes.com/life-style/celebrity/article/time-and-place-nicola-walker-mfqg6vvhlv9 |work=The Times |date=10 January 2016 |access-date=1 March 2021}} She started her acting career with the Cambridge Footlights. Her contemporaries included Spooks writer David Wolstencroft and comedian Sue Perkins, who were all part of the 1990 national tour.{{cite web |url=http://www.orionbooks.co.uk/authors/walker-nicola |title=Bestselling Fiction & Non-Fiction Authors, from The Orion Publishing Group |publisher=Orionbooks.co.uk |access-date=26 November 2013}}
Perkins, then an older undergraduate, was assigned to be her "college mother". Walker later said: "She was the worst college mother I could have had. They're meant to hold your hand. She asked to borrow my bike, got drunk, and I never saw it again." Walker acted with Perkins, and they reunited when Perkins gave Walker a role in Heading Out.
Career
Offered a place at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art on graduation from Cambridge, Walker already had some roles and an agent, so she decided to pursue her acting career. Based in London, she shared a flat with Perkins, Sarah Phelps, and Emma Kennedy. She acted at the Edinburgh Festival and the London Festival Fringe.

Walker's first major television roles were in 1997, as Gypsy Jones in Channel 4's adaptation of A Dance to the Music of Time, and as English teacher Suzy Travis in two series of Steven Moffat's school-based sitcom Chalk.After the Chalk Dust Settled, featurette on Chalk Series 1 DVD, ReplayDVD.co.uk, prod. & dir. Craig Robins She has also appeared in guest roles in episodes of series such as Dalziel and Pascoe, Jonathan Creek, Pie in the Sky, and Broken News.
She played the leading part of DI Susan Taylor in the ITV thriller serial Touching Evil in 1997, co-starring opposite Robson Green. She also appeared in its two sequel serials in 1998 and 1999. Also in 1999, she took the lead role in the post-apocalyptic drama serial The Last Train, also screened on ITV (and written by future Spooks writer Matthew Graham). Also in 2003, Walker played Molly Millions in the BBC Radio adaptation of Neuromancer by William Gibson.
In 2003, with the production team of Kudos Television looking to replace the character played by Jenny Agutter in Series 1 of Spooks, the part of Ruth Evershed was specially written for Walker from Series 2. She remained with the show until the fifth series, during the production of which it was announced she was expecting her first child and would be leaving. She returned in 2009 and continued until the series ended in 2011. Benji Wilson of The Daily Telegraph praised Walker's performance, stating: "an actress who has squeezed every drop out of TV’s greatest ever largely dumbstruck doormat for the best part of a decade. Her scenes with Peter Firth, another fine player, have become self-contained little bubbles of weltschmerz within every recent episode".{{cite web |last=Wilson |first=Benji |title=Spooks: the final episode, so ludicrously silly it might just be true, review |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/8842077/Spooks-the-final-episode-so-ludicrously-silly-it-might-just-be-true-review.html |work=The Daily Telegraph |date=23 October 2011 |access-date=28 October 2011}}"Spooks" was also titled and seen as "MI-5".
