London: Historical Pubs Small-Group, Half-Day Walking Tour
Your afternoon pub tour begins in the City of London. Meet your guide and set off for the first stop of your tour. As you walk, spot major attractions such as St. Paul's Cathedral and the bustling Fleet Street. Pass the former site of a Shakespearean playhouse, then pop into the art nouveau Blackfriars for a drink. Grab a pint (own expense) and enjoy colorful stories from this neighborhood's banking community. Next, head down Fleet Street, flush with pubs and gin palaces once frequented by the journalists and literary greats of the day. Stop at a proper London boozer to buy yourself a delicious local ale (or two), admire the authentic medieval decor, and enjoy the buzz as regulars and newcomers fill up the wooden tables surrounding the horseshoe-shaped bar. Continue along Fleet Street, the former stomping grounds of Charles Dickens. Visit a 17th-century pub that was a favorite of Dickens and fellow writers such as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Alfred Lord Tennyson. Sip on a delicious beer or cider (not included), and soak up the literary history of the place. Your tour ends at the edge of Covent Garden with plenty of time (and insider information) to continue the fun at another local pub.
