The best way to experience London is through its fantastic pubs! "The pub is the heart of England" - (Samuel Pepys). You'll find out why we Brits love the 'boozer'. You'll try some 'warm beer'; hear a song or two; tell some classic pub jokes and see some of the capital's best sights between pubs. What is pub 'craic' and 'banter'? 'Warm beer'? The Gin Craze? What did the GIs get up to? Where do our parliamentary representatives like to drink? How did Music Hall thrill the Victorians in the 1800s? See how different London's old pubs are from each other and how quirky our laws are! CHOOSE FROM: classic Westminster; Shakespeare's stomping ground Southwark; contemporary and/or Dickensian East London; Rock n Roll Camden; or the old East End docks, haunt of pirates and vagabonds but also famous painters and full of industrial history. We can do the classic London or we can delve a little deeper or go offbeat. *Please note, I will be working, so might not drink! I'll be super sociable, but sober.
We'll stop at 4 famous traditional pubs and spend typically a half-hour at each of these beauties. If it's Westminster we often start around Trafalgar Square or Covent Garden and finish at Parliament Square (Parliament, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben etc). On the way, we see these spots (exteriors), plus the Prime Minister's street and some other key London landmarks. The walking time between these pubs is 5-10mins maximum usually, but I like to be flexible and give you other options if you have a particular interest or taste. This is a great way of seeing the big tourist spots and the heart of the British Establishment. If you want something a little more quirky, check out the other locations and we'll liase by email about a starting point. This tour as a whole or partially, can be customized to fit your preferences - please inquire!

Trafalgar Square, England, WC2N 5DS United Kingdom
For the classic version, we can max out the tour time if we meet near on the steps of the distinctive St Martin's in the Fields church in the NE corner of Trafalgar Square. It's between Charing Cross and Leicester Square tube stops.
