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.

We loved our pub tour. Freddie was incredible and the group was a nice mix of people. We saw so much more of the city than we expected and loved all four stops. Freddie had many great stories to tell throughout our tour. While you may be able to go to pubs on your own, it was really nice to have four all arranged for us in a good walking area. The tour was a great value and we highly recommend it.

Tour was good, but it was hectic while trying to get served and to pay for drinks on each stop since we were on a short timer. Also as suggestion, the longest stop should be the last pub so those who need to leave on time could get going without missing much.
