About our Historic Pub tour
London is incomplete to a tourist without a London pub tour.
Whether it is the understated charm of a pub packed with local ales, floral wallpaper, and a musky scent of being well-loved, to a London pub’s high profile historical visitors, you cannot leave London without stepping inside a pub, it’s a must.
But where do you go? What pubs do you choose? We take the time-consuming part off your shoulders, and choose the very best historical pubs we know that you will love (and the ones that serve the best food and drink).
A La Carte Tours & Events carefully choose the pubs in this historical pub tour based on what interests you most when it comes to the history of London, from Shakespeare’s time to the fire of London, from royals to rascals, and more!
Selecting pubs from locations such as the East End, Soho, Covent Garden, Mayfair and the City of London.
What’s included…
We select around four pubs from the most historical areas, one in the East End, one in Soho Covent Garden, one in Mayfair and another in the City of London.
You will have a drink in each one of these historic pubs, and learn about the history of the pubs, from its beer to its visitors.
Our Blue Badge team will select the best pubs for you, and make it personal to your historical interests.
The pubs we take you to in the heart of London are where history happened, the how, why and where.
As part of this Historic Pub Tour, alongside the exploring there will be time to sit and have drinks too (one in each of the pubs we take a tour in).
You can also add in the option of enjoying dinner or lunch in a pub too. If having food, you can choose to do this during the middle of the tour, or after the tour where we will leave you to enjoy your pub-grub.
You will leave this London pub tour with a full belly and a full head of history.
