The London Literary Pub Tour for Two
About this experience
Forays into the world of writing are overwhelmingly short-lived and ill-fated. That tentative first chapter hidden away in an obscure file, never to be reopened. Forays into the pub can be ill-fated too, ending with a 04.00 kebab rather than a genre defining body of literature. Incredibly, there are those who have been able to consummately bring these worlds together. With the London Literary Pub Crawl, you can follow in the footsteps of some of history’s most iconic authors, and swill a pint or two in their favourite watering holes.
Kicking off with an introductory pub quiz, you’ll embark on a tour of around a dozen pubs and locations made famous by great story tellers including Charles Dickens, George Orwell and Virginia Woolf. They’ll be the chance to rehydrate as you go, as you’ll even pop into two or three choice establishments for a well deserved tipple. Your journey will end as it began – in a pub – this time in Soho for an old-time sing-a-long!

“London Literary Pub Crawl”
What an amazing afternoon out. I thought I knew London well, but this tour took us to parts of Soho and Fitzrovia I was unfamiliar with. The guide was kind, personable and knowledgeable. We loved it!
