About this Event
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.
Wander through the streets of London's former hunting grounds, learning about its association with the arts and enjoy the atmosphere of its many characterful pubs. We will see where Dylan Thomas almost lost his only manuscript to Under Milk Wood, which pub Charles de Gaulle formed the Free French Forces and the Dutch pub which was the former residency of the Mighty Boosh. We finish at a legendary pub which used to stage bare knuckle fights and was known as the 'Bucket of Blood' and where the poet John Dryden was attacked by paid hitmen.
