Borough Market its history and its pubs

London has a fantastic pub culture and some of these establishments have been trading for over 400 years. Our pub tours take in the hidden gems, literary haunts, pubs with a nefarious story and those providing both traditional and new-age craft beer experiences. Each week I will focus on different areas of London and groups of up to 14 will be personally be guided by me around 4 classic pubs enabling the inquisitive traveller to easily engage with my city's unique pubs.

We start at the site of the notorious former debtors' Pr*son The Marshalsea, home to the family of Charles Dickens. Fancy a beer at London's only surviving coaching inn, grade 1 listed. See the site of the birthplace of John Harvard and stroll through the remnants of London's brewing history and the location of what was then the largest brewery in the world. As usual we will stop at many pubs and enjoy traditional cask alongside modern craft beers.
