Experience Details

When we started to create this tour we had the idea of doing a historical pub experience. We soon realised though that this is so much more.

The stories that have occurred in the walls of these pubs make them some of the most influential rooms in British history. Scandal, intruige, lies and deception. Reputations have been ruined and legends have been born right where we're sitting.

Around every corner is another story, another character and another unforgettable tale.

What You Get

Alcoholic beverages

We visit 4 characteful pubs and bars along the way. At each one we enjoy a local tipple whilst we share our stories.

Snacks

The British pub experience is not complete without a few of our favourite little bites. We'll enjoy some traditional pub dishes along the way.

What You’ll Experience

Blackfriars Bridge

We begin the tour at the North end of one of London's most intruiging bridges. Here's where the scene is really set. What most people would describe as a normal Thames crossing we will explain that it's a lot more than that. Suspicious murders, pirate heists and illegal drinking dens. You'll never look at the bridge the same.

10 minutesAdmission Ticket Free

Fleet Street

The street is our backdrop on this historical pub tour. This was once the beating heart of Britain's newspaper industry. Deals were done, reputations ruined and legends made in the alleyways and back streets around this part of town. Once destroyed by the great fire of London the area rose from the flames to become the epi-centre of political scandal and intrigue. If the walls could talk around here it would make the greatest film ever.

2 hoursAdmission Ticket Free

St Bride's Church

There's been a church here since the 6th century. St Bride's is known to be the inspiration for modern day wedding cakes. You'll see why when we visit. There's dedications to journalists around the world who have lost their lives in pursuit of the truth. If we're lucky we might pass by when the choir are in full voice. A haunting but peaceful experience.

10 minutesAdmission Ticket Free

The Old Bank of England Pub

One of the pubs we visit used to be a branch of the Bank of England. But why would the bank want a branc here?? Well, we're right next door to the biggest law courts in the country so you might need some quick access to bail money.

20 minutesAdmission Ticket Free

Old Bailey

Scene of where some of Britain's most notourious criminals have met their fate. The area is a bustling hive of legal eagles arguing and debating the days cases. Makes for some great ear wigging and some fantastic stories.
