About this tour

Step into London’s storied pub scene, where centuries of history meet hidden lanes, old wooden booths, and tales of ghosts and gin. On this 210-minute London Historic Pubs Tour, an expert local guide leads you to four iconic watering holes, including traditional pubs known for their history and haunted reputations.

As you wander winding passages that even locals can overlook, hear stories of plague, fire, gossip, and famous patrons such as Charles Dickens, Winston Churchill, and Agatha Christie. Each stop brings a fresh glimpse of the city’s past, with plenty of humor and spooky lore along the way. Drinks are not included, so you can choose whether to order a pint at the pubs.

The London Historic Pubs Tour offers a spirited way to discover the city beyond its grand landmarks. Meet your guide by the water fountain near the Magpie & Stump pub, bring photo ID, and get ready for an evening of history, character, and curious tales.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 1 review. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in London
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.1. Top 50% in London means it ranks in the top 50% of tours in London by this score.
