Come along with us as we show you London’s most historic pubs. Grab a pint as you sit in booths that have kept the likes of Charles Dickens, Winston Churchill, Agatha Christie and more. Follow us down London’s winding passages to pubs so hidden away even locals have a hard time finding them! Sip local brews and enjoy the depths of London’s almost 2000 year history as your guide winds the clock back to times gone filled with plague,fire, gossip, ghosts, and of course, drinking. By the end you won’t have had just a good pint but undoubtedly a good time as well. We'll take you to four iconic watering holes visited by some of London's most infamous characters, each with its own history to tell. These include some of the best-preserved traditional pubs in England - as well as some of the most haunted... This tour is a fantastic mix of history, humour, spooks and spirits that spans across the centuries for a one-of-a-kind pub experience!

Dr. Johnson's House

Next time you look up the meaning of a word or a synonym or antonym, give a small thanks to Dr. Samuel Johnson, the man who wrote the first comprehensive dictionary! He lived here with his cat Hodge, who is immortalised in a charming statue.

Spooky, Spirited & Spectacular

My husband and I joined this tour and it was one of the absolute highlights of our time in London! This tour perfectly blended fascinating history, ghost stories, hidden gems, and of course, great pubs.

We loved how each stop had its own unique character and rich backstory. The combination of spooky tales and London history made it so much more...read more
