30 min · Admission includedWe might be able to grab ourselves a snug booth in this beautiful old pub in the centre of the London legal district. The tour usually visits either this pub or the Seven Stars.
30 min · Admission includedThis old pub is in the middle of 'legal' London and it is here where clients would come to celebrate with their legal team if they were found 'Not Guilty'.
30 min · Admission includedAfter passing through beautiful Lincolns Inn, we will come to Fleet Street, the famous home of the British Newspapers. Here we will find a pub that was once part of an old monastery and learn about its most famous resident, a once vile mouthed, stuffed parrot.
30 min · Admission includedLearn about its foul-mouthed parrot that lived here 100 years ago and explore the numerous underground levels and bars.
30 min · Admission includedVisit some wonderful old pubs, some going back to before The Great Fire of London. Each with their own character and history to tell whilst enjoying an unhurried drink in some very special and unspoilt location just as Londoners do. On occasion sometimes we may swap a pub around with a different but equal quality pub in the unlikely event of a pub being closed.
