Overview
New York has its delis, Paris has its cafés and London has its pubs. Around 7000 of them to be precise. The question is, which ones to visit, and what to order? Allow our world class local guides to show you the hidden gems of London’s famous west end pub scene and show you our favourite local establishments brimming with character and charm. We’ll visit 4 pubs, dating as far back as the 16th century and spanning through to the 21st century. In each, you will be able to see for yourself the changing nature of these watering holes through the ages. Halfway through the afternoon, you will be treated to a guided tour of Covent Garden Market, a great place to pick up a memento from your trip.
