Hidden Pubs of London

Join us for a 3hr historical stumble down the "street of shame". Starting in the shadow of the iconic St.Paul's cathedral, we explore the tiny backstreets and rambling courtyards the ancient City of London is famous for. We follow in the drunken footsteps of literary greats including Dickens, Shakespeare, Pepys & Johnson whilst pausing for a drink in at least 4 of the most historic pubs dating as far back as the 1500's. From discovering art nouveau gems to glamorous Victorian gin palaces we enjoy a variety of pub styles and breweries along the way. It's not a prescriptive tour, so you choose & pay for your drinks along the way. We're here to offer recommendations, and you can often "sip before you sup" with a few tasters on request from the bars along the way. This allows you to indulge as much or as little as you desire! Non-drinkers can soak up the history, and wine & gin-lovers are also well catered for. We usually finish up on the edge of Covent Garden perfect for theatre-land, restaurants and of course more pubs! Other note: - Guests are recommended to be over 18 years of age to enjoy the walk at its best. Anyone lucky enough to look under 25 years of age should bring photo ID - Group sizes of up to 14 participants - Alfie the dog is not always in attendance. Sorry! N.B. We have a small number of hosts so you might be meeting up with Chris, Mark, Wil or other

British Museum Tour - Culture and Controversy

The British Museum is a fascinating but also challenging place to visit.. the sheer number of artefacts and stories to discover can be quite daunting. This tour will guide curious visitors along a fun and often surprising narrative to discover the beauty of ancient civilisations, to come up close to staggering works of art, and hear how some of these artefacts arrived inside the museum. There are hidden mythologies, art, mysticism, and history galore, but there are also running controversies in regards to several artefacts on display. Some of the stories are to do with violent colonial exchanges that involve looting as well as other questionable practices of ownership. I try to explain their arrival at the museum and update on their complicated status. Some of these stories may not be very pleasant, but knowing about them generates constructive discussion of the issues involved. This is walk to discuss about all this together on a two hour tour. Some of the subjects we’ll cover will be: Ancient Greek temples and gods Deities and warrior kings from Mesopotamia Roman artwork and legacy Weapons from Australia Anglo-Saxon and Viking treasures Mesoamerican rituals Royal treasures from the Kingdom of Benin Statues and temples from India Artefacts from China Statues and mummies from Egypt …and many more fascinating bits of history.
