| "The London Literary Pub Tour for Two" |
| "Forays into the world of writing are overwhelmingly short-lived and ill-fated. That tentative first chapter hidden away in an obscure file, never to be reopened. Forays into the pub can be ill-fated too, ending with a 04.00 kebab rather than a genre defining body of literature. Incredibly, there are those who have been able to consummately bring these worlds together. With the London Literary Pub Crawl, you can follow in the footsteps of some of history’s most iconic authors, and swill a pint or two in their favourite watering holes. Kicking off with an introductory pub quiz, you’ll embark on a tour of around a dozen pubs and locations made famous by great story tellers including Charles Dickens, George Orwell and Virginia Woolf. They’ll be the chance to rehydrate as you go, as you’ll even pop into two or three choice establishments for a well deserved tipple.

Follow in the footsteps of some of literature’s greatest writers Visit around a dozen licensed establishments which inspired them Available Saturdays only Experience gift pack Cancellation indemnity What happens on the day?

A lap with the hatches open, a lap with the hatches closed, and a final lap of your choosing – whichever way you go, this isn’t a drive you’re going to forget. What's Included?
