This is a two or three hour walk where you will discover some of London's most historic pubs. The pubs have survived a lot over the years; fires, plagues, wars and modernisation. Let me take you back in time to discover some of the oldest and most atmospheric pubs in the oldest part of London. These inns and taverns have been places of inspiration for London's famous figures including Charles Dickens and William Shakespeare and remain at the heart of London life. We will wander some of the charming alleyways to pubs being famous for being hard to find, hear stories of well-known characters both real and fictional, and take a step back in time to savour the unique ambiance of this part of London. If you choose, we will have a chance to pop in for a swift pint or half to sample some of the local brews! Cheers to that !
We will start at Monument Tube or I can meet you at your hotel : Firstly, to Leadenhall Market with its cobbled streets, to visit the Lamb Tavern. Next to Old Tom's Bar - named after a great character of the market. You'll love this story! Then to the Jamaica Wine House - it is tucked away down a small alleyway which will take you back in time. After this a look at Simpson's Tavern for more history of food and drink and stories of 'sausages'! Next to Ye Olde Watling Pub which dates from 1668 and famous for its connection with Christopher Wren. Then we head to The Cockpit, once part of a medieval monastery. Finally we end at The Blackfriar, famous for being the first themed pub in London. Or if you choose the extended walk we can head to Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese, famous for literary characters and a foul-mouthed parrot! Along the way you will learn about pub jargon, pub etiquette and pub signs! All tell a story.
