Experience Overview:
Beer Included Pub Tour With A ScotsmanThis experience is great for folk that want a truly authentic British experience of ‘going down the pub’ All of the pubs we’ll visit have historical significance although that’s not why I’ve chosen them. I’ve chosen them based on one simple thing, they’re all great pubs!
London has over 3000 pubs to choose from and it can be daunting trying to find the good ones but I’ve done the research (hard work I know!) and chosen a few of my favourites.
We’ll visit an original gin palace, London's hardest to find pub and a few others!
Being Scottish we have to stop at the William Wallace memorial close to the first pub. Discover if Scotlands most famous freedom fighter did really shout 'Freeeeedom!' (spoiler alert, he didn't!).
To save you the hassle of getting served at the bar I will get the beers in! A half pint of beer in each pub is included in the price of the experience. We will try various different beers including the ever popular British cask or ‘real ale’ beer.
