Full description

The pub has been at the heart of London life for centuries, and many of the city’s oldest inns have survived fires, wars and redevelopment with their wooden panels and snug corners intact. This walking tour visits a selection of them, with your guide explaining how each became part of the city’s history, from writers’ hangouts to places tied to famous trials and scandals.

At each stop there’s time to settle in and try a tasting of traditional British drinks. The small group size keeps things relaxed and conversational, and your guide is happy to share tips on where to eat and drink for the rest of your stay.
