The ones that introduce him to something he’d never think to book himself. The History of London in 4 Drinks is a walking tour tracing how gin, coffee, beer and tea each shaped the city — gripping even if he thinks he knows London well. Gin Safari by Bicycle pedals through Bermondsey on a Pashley, stopping at distilleries and markets with history woven through every stop, from £99. Pies, Pints and Peculiar Pubs is a walking tour through some of London’s most improbable drinking establishments — proper independent pubs, proper history, from £89. None of these are the obvious choice. That’s the point.
More than you might expect. Crash Course in Archaeology at the British Museum is a proper behind-the-scenes session with expert guidance through the collection, totally absorbing, £75. Urban Photography Safari teaches you to see London differently through a lens, led by a professional photographer, from £30. London Spy Walking Tour takes you through real underground tunnels and genuine Cold War history; it that makes you realise how much of London’s past is still hidden, from £29. And London Night Walk traces music, history and wine under the stars on a moonlit route through the city, from £45.
The Wim Hof Method Experience is four hours of breathwork and ice bath immersion — properly led, properly transformative, the kind of thing people do once and talk about for years, from £139. Beekeeping and Beers puts him in a beekeeper’s suit in Kennington Park searching for the Queen Bee, followed by a tutored craft honey beer tasting from Hiver. The Seven Sisters Boat Trip sends him outside the environs of our glorious city and along the Sussex coast on a RIB — white cliffs, wildlife, proper salty air, from £40. And if you and he have a bit more time, Happy Campers is a week in a retro campervan through Norfolk for two, from £495. That one you save for a milestone! 30th birthday? 40th Birthday? 10th anniversary? Find a reason.
Several of the best ones. Bermondsey Beer Mile — a guided craft beer tasting at Hiver’s taproom followed by a self-guided map of the arches starts from £25.50. Comedy Night Out in London for two at is a standard smile-fest at £34. Urban Photography Safari starts from £30. Loads more at your finger-tips.
All open-dated vouchers, valid 12 months. Fully exchangeable to anything on the website if some awkward reason he doesn’t really fancy your choice. Quel surprise!
Yes — eVouchers arrive within 15 minutes, any time of day or night. We can send directly to him if that’s easier. And if you genuinely can’t decide — which, given he’s impossible to buy for, is entirely understandable — our Super Voucher lets him do the browsing and choosing so you remain blameless.
Because we don’t curate by stereotype — we curate by imagination. Nothing on this page is here because it’s “masculine”. It’s here because it’s brilliant, independent, and run by someone who genuinely loves what they do: a musician, a photographer, a spy-tour expert who knows where the tunnels actually are. When you buy with Indytute, you’re helping them do what they love most.
Curated by imagination, not stereotype.
