Overview

London is a city teeming with pubs—thousands, in fact—but separating the storied establishments from the modern masses can prove tricky, especially for first-time visitors. Check off four historic pubs with ease as a local guide leads the way between them. Choose whether to purchase drinks (own expense) and get the inside scoop on the city’s drinking culture—both past and present.
  • Small-group tour ensures an intimate atmosphere throughout
  • Pick and pay for what you want to drink, without being tied to a set tasting
  • Walking between stops helps you get your bearings
  • Go beyond the guidebooks as you listen to insider tales from your guide
