Historic Pubs of London

About this activity

Lovers of pubs hello!

The pub is a British institution par excellence. Formerly called taverns, 'inns' or 'alehouses', some of the capital's pubs date back to Shakespeare's century, others from the Victorian era.

But you still have to know how to find them.

This guided tour invites you to discover some of London's must-see historical pubs. Each stop will be a jump in the past during which we will evoke a very particular historical episode like the appearance of the first signs, the Inns of Court, the publication

early London newspapers and many others. You'll know the story behind the names of the pubs and that ancestral beverage that is beer.

According to your desires we will be able to visit several historical pubs and why not enjoy around a glass of their superb decoration and atmosphere.
