What you can expect

Enjoy an afternoon stroll through London's liquid history, pausing to quench your thirst in 4 of the city's most historic pubs. Walk from historic Southwark to the bright lights of the West End, uncovering fascinating anecdotes and hidden stories.

Meet your guide outside St Paul's underground station and set off on a gentle 2-mile stroll through some of London’s ancient streets. Walk down the so-called “street of shame”, home to some of the city's historic boozers that sit alongside contemporary upmarket offices and restaurants.

Gain an in-depth insight into the drinking culture of the city, and walk in the footsteps of legendary city chronicles such as Charles Dickens. Explore hidden backstreets
and alleys, and uncover fascinating facts that are unknown even to the locals.

Stop at no less than 4 different pubs to quench your thirst, with visits to taverns that date back as far as 1549. Pop into a grand Victorian gin palace and be amazed by the variety and quality of spirits on display.

Finish your adventure close to Strand and Covent Garden, where you'll be a short walk from the theatres, shops, and restaurants of London’s West End. You can then discover even more historic venues with recommendations from your guide if you want to carry on your liquid tour into the evening.

Tim was an excellent guide who provided us with fun London facts and stories to make the experience even more interesting. We went to four great pubs, all a little different, and learned a lot about the history of each. It was a great time and I highly recommend this tour.

Chris Cheeseman was extremely friendly and helped the group to ‘gel’ together so much so we stayed behind in the last pub to continue talking and drinking with some of the group . He shared lots of interesting information and not just main historical facts but incidental stories too. Great fun would recommend
