About this activity

This 2-hour walking tour of London pubs promises drama, intrigue, and a fair amount of local history. Meet your guide near the Chancery Lane Underground Station and discover the oldest drinking establishments as you explore the winding streets and back alleys of the historic city center.

Visit where Dylan Thomas drunkenly misplaced his manuscripts, learn how Victorians fed their gin cravings, and stand in secret alleyways where one of England’s most notorious poets faced a duel. Learn about London’s seedy drink-obsessed past while taking in the splendor of modern-day London and sensing the ghosts of yesteryear at some of the city’s top landmarks.

Finish up at a watering hole regularly frequented by Charles Dickens, where you're served a favorite drink (half-pint of beer included).

We were enjoying the tour, our guide was friendly and informative, but then very abruptly ended the tour. It was supposed to go for two hours, but went for an hour and a half. He bought us a beer and left. We were all a bit stunned.

This was a fun pub tour-only 3 of us so we were able to ask lots of questions and get to know George. Probably wouldn't do this on a Sunday again as some of the pubs were closed...still a fun tour though-highly recommend!

George met us at the stated meeting point. We were very lucky to be the only 2 on the tour. We spent 2 hours walking the back streets of London and visited 2 iconic London pubs with a beer in each. I recommend this tour.

We loved it! We had no one else joining us so we got an individual. We immediately were friends with our guide! If we had more time we would have him accompany us to everything in London! Lots of interesting information about history, even where Charles Dickens drank! Highly recommend this!

If I could give 10 stars I would! On the day of the tour, we were the only ones on the tour and George did a fantastic job of making it feel like a personalized tour. The tour was educational, fun and sprinkled with anecdotes. I loved all the pubs we visited and it was definitely one of the best tours I've been on. Thank you George, for making our pub tour the highlight of our trip!
