Fleet Street is one of London’s most famous thoroughfares. And it contains some of London’s most legendary pubs. They have served as the watering holes of journalists, lawyers, tourists, intellectual and artistic types and just ordinary Londoners.

Richard’s tour knits together some of the best pubs in the Fleet Street area (and associated history), bringing you stories of writers (Pepys, Johnson, Dickens, Edgar Wallace), drunken journos, disgraced courtiers and a sadly short-lived crown prince. He shows off some of the finest pub buildings, the sites of great pubs of Fleet Street past and two pubs whose names are not all that they seem – one of which packs quite a punch!

A pub interval stop will be included.

The walk will end at Ludgate Circus, not far to walk to St Paul’s, Thameslink and Blackfriars stations.
