WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT?
On this guided walk, you will be exploring the history of the pub. The route weaves through Clerkenwell and Farringdon, as you listen to the stories and history behind London’s pub along with a couple of pints along the way. Where could you find the last beer before a Newgate execution ? Why are ghosts and spirits kept at bay in one particular (and very cosy) bar. Discover the reason why some pubs are hidden away in certain parts of London.
Without our traditional pints the city probably wouldn’t have survived, as back in the day Londoner’s were drinking it in place of water, and don’t let’s get started on the joys of a pie. When an oyster was as cheap as a chip, the Victorians were stuffing them under crusts, with a drop of stout to improve the gravy. Yes, we understand a pie. The crust is just a vehicle for holding in deliciousness.
The tour heads off from the Viaduct Tavern in Newgate Street, and there will be a maximum of eight people in your group. The totter lasts for about three hours, and at the end of the walk you will sit down for a pint and a pie - a well deserved treat, and take the time to raise your glass to the very peculiar British pub.

Amazing food, great selection of jams & teas, with superb service from Marlla. Despite being informed table must be returned after 90 mins...we were not rushed at all.
Great experience, very nice and caring master, relaxing atmosphere. Good materials and instructions, totally worth it
Rachel was such a great hostess! Our ride was ready and waiting at the station and meant we could leave bags, jackets, anything on the van while we enjoyed our day. We visited two vineyards which both offered something a bit different to each other. The little walks around the vineyards were beautiful and the guides were very knowledgeable and engaging. Lunch was delicious and substantial enough for a day of drinking! And ofc the wines were beautiful - came home with a bottle and a smile 😊 fant...
Best 2 hours spent learning about aromas, essential oils and natural dyes, and you get a set of soaps at the end!
The Urban photography with James was a birthday present from my wife, all communications with Claire via Indytute were spot on and the meet was on time. James is a skilled photographer and all round nice chap who was able to communicate to the array of clients with varying skills, ages and equipment. The 90 minutes flew by and centred around four photography tasks to sharpen the skills. The last task was quite an enlightening experience for me, James instructed us to walk down Brick Lane and ask...
We had a great time at the cheese barge. The afternoon tea option with prosecco for us was definitely the right move. We asked the server to recommend the cheese selection and he suggested going for all 15 on the menu, then we could choose extra of 5 that we liked. Great idea and worked out perfectly. The venue is qwerky so n a good way. We had a nice view of the canal. Would definitely go again.
