Join the London Pub Explorer for a truly unique day out exploring London’s rich pub estate and history in the style and comfort of a classic 1960s red double-decker Routemaster bus.
Starting in north London at one of the capitals premier independent pubs - The Bank of Friendship in Highbury - you’ll stop at quality backstreet wet-led proper boozers en route to the East End.
First rate hospitality will greet you in cherished local north and east London houses where a spread will be laid on to fortify your intrepid group during a day exploring in style. A fun filled day out with commentary from the London Pub Explorer in the company of mutual pub lovers awaits those lucky enough to get their hands on a ticket.
To keep in the spirit of the occasion Sunday best attire is encouraged, but not expected. Gentlemen are invited to wear three-piece suits with flat caps or trilbies and posh frocks and fascinators for the ladies.
Or simply come as you are and enjoy the (hopefully) wonderful English summer (after the World Cup has finished)
CASH MUST BE BROUGHT FROM YOUR POINT OF ORIGIN AS ONE PUB DOES NOT ACCEPT CARDS AND YOU WILL NOT BE NEAR ANY CASH POINTS ON YOUR ROUTE
