Covent Garden Historic Pub Tour

2.5 HOUR TOUR

Covent Garden

4-14 PEOPLE

£250

Do you love London's old pubs?

With over 430 pubs to choose from in Westminster, you may wonder where to begin!

Our tour will guide you to some of the oldest and the best, soaking in the historic atmosphere (and the ales) of Covent Garden on a drunken frolic through four centuries of alcoholic history.

Over ales, lagers and ciders your guide will enthrall you with tales of duels, romance and adventure… all fueled by liquor. Learn how London’s tastes in drink and entertainment evolved from the rollicking parties of the Restoration through the gin craze of the Georgians to the temperance movement of the Victorian era.

Visit the oldest pub in Covent Garden

Enjoy a drink (or three) with friends old and new

Visit the site of the first Punch and Judy show in England

Raise a glass to Nell Gwynn, the mistress of Charles II

Small group size to ensure an enjoyable experience (between 2 and 14 people)

This is the perfect tour if you want to learn about London in a more ‘fluid’ and ‘refreshing’ way…

On this 2 and a half hour tour we will visit four famous pubs, stopping for a drink in each. At the end you are welcome to say and carouse through the evening and into the night, though we suggest you take heed of the wisdom of Winston Churchill who said “I have taken more from Alcohol than alcohol has ever taken from me.”
