Full description

Starting near Newgate Street, the tour threads through the courts and lanes off Fleet Street once home to London's newspaper trade, stopping at historic taverns with centuries of continuous history and literary or journalistic associations. It's built around modest pours at each stop rather than heavy drinking, with a guide filling in the stories behind buildings that survived the Great Fire, the Blitz, or both.

The strong local score reflects a more everyday, pub-culture side of London than its famous landmarks.
