Full description

Enjoy an afternoon stroll through London's liquid history, pausing to quench your thirst in 4 of the city's most historic pubs. This tour of some of the city’s finest alehouses follows in the footsteps of legendary city chroniclers, such as Charles Dickens.

Take a gentle 2-mile walk through some of London’s ancient streets, departing from St Paul's underground station and strolling along the "street of shame". 

Throughout the tour, enjoy fine views, quirky history, and a drink or two along the way. Stop at no less than 4 different pubs to quench your thirst, with visits to taverns that date back as far as 1549.

Your trip will finish close to the Strand and Covent Garden, where you'll be a short walk from the theaters, shops, and restaurants of London’s West End. Not to mention even more historic pubs if you want to carry on your liquid tour of London on your own.

Great tour, great guide (Will), we learnt so much along the way and enjoyed the stories, history and atmosphere of all the pubs we visited. I have been to London many a time and loved this experience, I would recommend this to travellers and locals alike for a fun (and educational) afternoon out.

I went on this tour with my daughters (college-age). We had a great time! Will, our guide, was very knowledgeable about the neighborhoods we visited and the pubs and their histories. He was upbeat and friendly and made it a point to visit with all of the members of the tour. He created a fun atmosphere. I would highly recommend this tour1
