Overview

London is full of great pubs, but it can be hard to find the ones that are historically notable on your own. Instead, discover some of the British capital's most history-rich pubs, and learn their behind-the-scenes stories, with a guide. Spend time in pubs that were once frequented by artists and authors, including Dickens and Christie, and explore with just a small group of fellow travelers to keep you company.

Perfect for travelers interested in history, culture, and beer
Visit London pubs you’d be unlikely to find on your own
Discover insider facts and stories from your guide’s commentary
Small group sizes ensure a more personal experience

Ian was very informative on the history of each pub. We enjoyed his stories and our 1/2 pints as we visited 6 pubs last night. We also enjoyed some gin as well. A really great night of fun!

Highly recommend this tour and Ian in particular!
