London Historical Pub Tour with Pilgrims and Pirates
On this small-group walking tour, step off the tourist trail when you explore parts of London that many visitors overlook—and learn all about the city’s crooks, pirates, and other historical criminals and misdoings. Meet your guide and set off to explore the city’s docklands. On this 5-mile (8-kilometer) walk, you’ll visit waterfront highlights, history-saturated pubs, and lively neighbourhoods. This small-group tour is capped at 12 for a personal feel.
Find your sea legs and sail into the past! Beneath the eerie cry of the gulls, walk along the river from Dead Man’s Hole to Execution Dock, via ancient smugglers’ taverns where press gangs dragged men off to sea.
Explore a salt-encrusted, maritime world that was the making of Britain’s empire, and step off the beaten track to discover a long-forgotten way of life – a time when rum-soaked buccaneers chased Spanish treasure ships, and Royal Navy crews fought criminal captains in the Golden Age of Piracy.
