A guide leads the walk and recommends drinks, but every drink is at your own expense. 4.99 from 717 reviews at €149 per person for 3h–4h. ## Overview Enjoy a historic private tour down the infamous "street of shame". With over 30 pubs and gin distilleries to choose from, your guide will tailor the walk to your personal preferences. With plenty of time to pause for a drink in 4 or 5 of London's most famous pubs along the way, the guide is on hand to recommend a few local tipples.
