LONDON, January 2026 – Side Routes, the tour company celebrated for its authentic small-group experiences across Barcelona and Rome, is expanding to London with the launch of its London Pubs & Historic Taverns Tour.
The new walking tour guides visitors through centuries of British history via the capital’s most legendary pubs, from Tudor-era coaching inns to Victorian gin palaces and everything in between. Each venue has been selected not just for its historic significance but for the stories that live within its walls.
“We’ve always believed the best travel experiences happen away from the tourist trail,” said a Side Routes spokesperson. “London’s historic pubs are living museums where you can quite literally drink in history. We’re thrilled to bring our approach to the city.”
The tour promises the intimate, story-driven format that has earned Side Routes five-star reviews across its Barcelona and Rome operations. Groups are kept small to ensure guests can interact with guides and experience each location without the crowds.
Stops include pubs frequented by literary giants, sites where historic plots were hatched, and establishments that have served Londoners through plagues, fires, and world wars. Along the way, guests will sample traditional ales and learn about the evolution of British pub culture.
