Visit a hidden local on London’s shortest street
Visit a beautiful Edwardian Grade II listed secret pub for your second round of beers.

Be Welcomed by the Landlord at a Family-Owned Favourite
Visit a community pub that was saved from demolition and sample an IPA (Indian Pale Ale). Learn why Dickens made this particular pub part of his stomping ground.

Relax in a Proper British Boozer
Finish the tour in a grand community gastro pub and try a beer with a recipe that dates all the way back to the 1600s. Discover why many a story, song, or poem has been dreamt up in these rustic community living rooms. Cheers your last drink here and an option to stay for dinner (they do amazing food).
