The Philosophy of Beer: Historic Pubs Tour (West End or City)

Price: £200 per group

Tour Duration: 90 mins

Group Size: No Limit

Tour Details

Humans have been making beer since before we made temples or even started farming. Beer may even be the reason we walk on two legs, why we stopped being hunter-gatherers and what led us to settle down to a life of agriculture. Either way we still celebrate our great English pubs today by using them to drink great English beer. This tour, whether in the West End or The City, will introduce you to the quirky history of some genuinely unique pubs as well as giving you some fascinating and fun stories to tell next time you’re having a few drinks with friends. Come out on the town with Mr Brown !

(and yes, if you’re dedicated and keen, we can do West End followed by The City…. That’s a lot of pubs though !)

Start: West End: Charing Cross
City version: Holborn

Finish: West End: Holborn
City version: Blackfriars

"We absolutely got that special person in Martin. He kept the boys engaged with his wealth of knowledge, but it was passion for history and for the UK that set him apart from any other tour guide we have ever had."

"Really informative as well as entertaining. Learned so much on our tour - fascinating just how much history and backstories there are and Martin has an encyclopaedic knowledge. He kept the tour at just the right pace for us all and managed to keep us all engaged (a mix of adults and kids)."

"Martin provided us with fascinating and often humorous stories of the history and people of the area. This tour is highly recommended and we will certainly be joining him again soon for another London tour very soon."

"A perfect afternoon spent with our tour guide Martin, listening to fascinating facts and engaging stories from the past and present. Looking forward to booking another London tour for our family and friends."
