Overview

2 hours 30 minutes

Mobile ticket

Visit pubs that time forgot, out of sight, nestled among cobbled backstreets, where the greatest of British characters used to live, work and play.

From London's most notorious local pub, where gangsters once mingled with lords and ladies, to the pub where the Beatles could secretly have a beer, away from fanatic fans - the same pub where visiting superstars such as Bradd Pitt and Lady Gaga go for fish and chips!

See the quaint mews houses where great artists once lived, like James Bond creator Ian Flemming and Bond actor Sean Connery.

Hear legendary tales of Frankenstein writer Mary Shelley and enter London's most haunted pub! The stories surrounding this pub will send shivers down your spine.

Enjoy the pub where Prince William can be found and where Kate Middleton spent the night before their historic wedding.

Feast your eyes on classic architecture and stunning views that capture the essence of London's hidden treasures.

Luke our guide gave us great insights into pub culture and knew how to report many historical backgrounds. The tour was really great and highly recommended. Since there is usually no food in the pubs, a solid underlay is recommended.

This was the perfect activity on an exceptionally sunny day. We loved learning more about the history of Belgravia, and experiencing some real gems of pubs. Luke was a truly engaging guide, providing us with historical context, fun stories, and great beer recommendations. We will definitely want to revisit these pubs the next time we are in London, and we will certainly book another pub tour with this team!
