London: Historic Pubs Ale Trail Audio Tour

Let's explore London's historic pub scene with this in-app audio tour! Get ready to embark on a thrilling pub crawl that will whisk you away through time as you visit some of the city's oldest and most legendary drinking dens. Our first stop is located in the famous Fleet Street. You are invited to The Old Bell, a 300-year-old tavern that keeps its unique character despite the changing times. Just cross the street, and you'll find yourself in Ye Old Cheshire Cheese, a pub with a serious Dickensian feel, as Charles Dickens was indeed a regular there. You'll reveal a secret way to Ye Olde Mitre pub, hidden between the alleyways and mysteriously belonging to Cambridgeshire since the 16th century. Then, take a leap from the Middle Ages to the Victorian era – you'll see The Viaduct, an authentic pub considered a major architectural achievement by Queen Victoria. More surprises on the way: a pub owned by Sir Ian McKellen, who played Gandalf in Lord of the Rings, and visited by Sherlock Holmes, according to Sir Conan Doyle. The tour will also guide you to one of the city's oldest taverns – it claims to have been established in 1216! The adventure continues on the riverside as you venture to Prospect of Whitby and get an idea of what it was like to share a table with a boatload of pirates. Remember: you don't have to finish the whole tour in one day! You may interrupt it and continue your journey from any step of the route. Enjoy your crawl, cheers!
