London Pub Tours and Experiences

Updated: June 26, 2025

Everybody loves a London pub crawl - including me!

In this post, I am going to let you know of a few different options, but also tell you why our pub tours are the best in the city.

We currently have three London pub tours: The Historic London Pub Crawl, the London Pub Crawl and Cockney Sing-a-Long and then Brixton Beer Mile Experience.

I have my favourite, of course, but all three are fantastic experiences which I will outline below.


Our Pub Crawls


City of London Historic Pub Tour

In my opinion, this is THE quintessential historic London Pub Crawl.

We were the first company to run a name-your-own-price pub crawl and you will see why we are the best at what we do when you join us!

I love this tour because it is the perfect blend of history and culture - in addition to an opportunity to taste some excellent beers (and gins!).

Our Crawl takes place in the historic City of London and incorporates 4 of London's most interesting, historic, and unusual pubs.

Our team has a working relationship with each of the venues, which means we always get treated like VIPs.

We will help you experience London like a true local as well as sharing our in-depth knowledge of the history of each pub.

We have the most surprising facts, the most amusing anecdotes and the best drink recommendations that we love to share with our visitors.

My favourite thing about this tour, and what sets us apart from other pub crawls is that we incorporate famed London Gin Palaces from the 19th century, so it's not just beer.

And we take our guests down hidden alleyways and streets that would have been home to beggars, thieves, and vagabonds.

Each pub we visit will has a very different atmosphere and history but all share a fine offering of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks in a wonderful building.

  • Visit pubs frequented by London's most famous poets, writers, and free thinkers!
  • Follow in the footsteps of Queen Elizabeth I and visit the hardest-to-find pub in London.
  • Explore parts of London as a local and get away from the tourist crowd.
  • Drink in a pub that has actual jail cells in the basement from medieval times.
  • See the first Irish Pub outside of Ireland.
  • Hear the tales of and visit some of the famed Victorian Gin Palaces!

One of our fantastic London guides, Jess, did a virtual version of this tour that you can see in the video below.


The London Pub Crawl and Cockney Sing-a-Long

Our London Pub Crawl and Cockney Sing-A-Long is a one of a kind experience in our city.

It's also proven incredibly popular with our guests and members of our Facebook Page.

This tour sets us apart from others in the city in that we visit 5 of London's most historic and iconic pubs - but we finish off with a good ol' fashioned knees up!

We feature the fascinating history of Covent Garden, London's Theatre District, and tell you the stories of the Kings, workers, and women that have shaped this vibrant area of our capital.

And there's not just drinks on the menu, we will also offer you the option to try some delicacies imported from abroad, or some classic British pub snacks!

Once we've had our fill of history, drinks and snacks we then take you to London's best Cockney Singalong with other Londoners for a truly fantastic experience.

Our Cockney Tour Guide leader has worked with an incredible venue to bring you the most entertaining, interesting and unusual finish to any London pub crawl.

I'm definitely not the best singer around but that doesn't stop me from belting it out with our guests at the end of one of these fun and engaging evenings - and I know you will do the same!

Check out this page for more information.

  • Follow in the footsteps of King Charles II and find out where he would meet his most famed mistress, Nell Gwynne.
  • Visit a pub frequented by Charles Dickens and host to many a bare-knuckle boxing match.
  • Join in on a unique Cockney Sing along for a London experience to remember.
  • Visit one of London's finest preserved Victorian drinking establishments.
  • Hear the tales of Theatreland.

 The Bermondsey Beer Mile Tour

The Bermondsey Beer Mile is a hidden gem...but probably not for long!

On this tour, we will help you experience London like a true Local and have you visiting a number of tap rooms along the Bermondsey Beer Mile.

Again, this tour has been crafted by our local team who have made partnerships with some of the best breweries along this trendy London locale.

You'll hear the story of how this neighbourhood started - and how it's transformed into a craft beer and foodie haven over the last 15 years.

You'll have the chance to not only taste a number of beers but to meet the brewers who have made them!

This is an experience you literally can't get anywhere else.

  • Visit the very first Micro Brewery on the Bermondsey Beer Mile in London.
  • Get to meet the brewers.
  • Drink in a taproom and taste the different unique beers brewed.
  • Hear about the history and culture of microbrewing in the UK.
