British Historic Pub Food Tour, Beers and Pies

This is not your average walking tour. While most tours show you London from the outside, this one takes you inside its most historic and atmospheric pubs, fork in hand, tasting the dishes that shaped British food culture along the way. Your expert local guide leads you through hidden alleyways and iconic streets, sharing centuries of stories about the Great Fire, Victorian London, famous writers, notorious criminals, and everyday Londoners who made these pubs legendary. At every stop you will taste classic British pub fare, from golden shortcrust pies and hearty Scotch eggs to a classic sticky toffee pudding to finish. A unique, delicious, and unforgettable way to experience London.
