Join me to celebrate a time of inns and brewing. Come see traces of the hospitality offered by the inns of Borough High Street. Learn how central the hop trade was locally. And of course find a variety of pubs for your delectation – after the tour!
This tour takes in the story of one of London’s largest breweries, and of how its draymen treated an unpopular Austrian. We visit the site of a violent death caused by a very dangerous umbrella.
Above all, join me to celebrate the many links between the Borough and booze!
This is a virtual tour hosted live via Zoom video conferencing, where your guide will show slides and give a talk to accompany them. There will be the opportunity for questions both during and after the talk.
DON’T FORGET – the tour starts PROMPTLY
Please make sure you’re in the waiting room ready to join us in good time!
