What is a London Pub Food Tour?
A London pub food tour combines several things visitors often want to experience separately: traditional British food, historic pubs, drinks and London history.
The tour we took focuses on the City of London, the historic financial district in the centre of London. It is an area many visitors walk through without necessarily stopping to explore its pubs. You’d most likely go to St Paul’s Cathedral and nothing else, as someone visiting London for the first time.
One thing to know before booking is that you may not visit exactly the same pubs every time. The route can depend on the day of the week, the guide and what is happening at the pubs. On our tour, for example, one London pub we expected to visit was unavailable because it was hired for a private event that day.
We deliberately chose a Saturday for our London pub food tour. As Londoners, we know the City can be relatively quiet at weekends because so many people who work there are commuters. Thursday afternoons, for example, can be a very different story when the area’s pubs fill up with workers kicking off their weekend early.
