The Old City Pub Tour (Blackfriars to Holborn)

Pubs buried in history situated in one of London's oldest districts!

Join me on a walk through this historic part of the City of London and visit four fascinating pubs along the way. Pubs tours are invariably the most popular tours in London, with the exception of Jack the Ripper.  Enjoy the hospitality of the following establishments:

The Blackfriar, Queen Victoria Street

Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese, Fleet Street

Discover:

• the trunk of a cherry tree where Queen Elizabeth I is supposed to have danced with her beau
• the Art Nouveau pub containing 50 different types of marble
• famous writers who have enjoyed a beer or two in a charming 17th century tavern
• a pub interior which is throwback to Tudor England

Listen to the many stories about this district of London, as we travel from one pub to the next:

• the legend of St Bride’s Church
• the underground rivers flowing below you
• one of the only buildings in the city to escape The Great Fire of London
