Pub Tours


The London Pubs Group organises heritage pub tours once every two months. The pub tours concentrate on visiting historic pubs and those with important architectural features and character.

The LPG pub tours archive contains - where available - detailed pub tour guides, including architectural descriptions, photographs, pub history, available beers (as at the time of the tour) as well as suggested arrival times and full directions between pubs.
