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.

What a great experience, so much better than expected right from checking in to checking out. We had a lovely comfortable cabin and all the staff were just amazing. I would have no hesitation in recommending this totally amazing place. The food in the restaurant was first class! Looking forward to going again soon!
Had a great afternoon tea then an awesome evening meal and finally a brilliant night and breakfast
Great location, picked up some superb tips and really enjoyed the process.
Thoroughly enjoyed our visit to this unusual art installation. Each of the rooms were quite different themes. Staff were pleasant, toilets were clean and there is a nice cafe. There was a small charge for storing large bags but this was all being donated to charity. An enjoyable couple of hours spent here. We then went to the Stablehand near Hyde Park and were met with a warm welcome, excellent service and a very pleasant meal. Had a lovely day enjoying these two experiences
From the moment we arrived we were treated like royalty. We arrived early and were seated with no problems. The art deco splendor, very much my favourite era, was evident from floor to ceiling. We had a choice of over twenty years to choose from and you can change to another if you want to. The finger sandwiches arrived with smoked salmon and caviar on top. The scones were gorgeous and still warm. We were offered more sandwiches and scones but it was ample for me. The cakes were hats delivered...
Brilliant workshop...so much fun and a great way to spend an evening! I bought this as a first wedding anniversary gift for my husband (paper) and because we had our honeymoon in Japan! It couldn’t have been more perfect! Wonderful teacher and some great creations!!
