Send us a text

Looking for a day trip from Central London? We're going to leafy Barnes, SW London for a leisurely Thames riverside pub crawl. Barnes river pubs and the best Thames River pubs? Yes please! 

Hidden spots loved by locals, London travel tips for visiting the best historic London pubs, haunted London pubs and ghost stories, glam rock and royal drama. 

The Brown Dog - once known as The Rose of Denmark, a royal backstory of Queen Alexandra fashionable Queen Consort, and a new lease on life to the pub thanks to investors. 

The Bulls Head - Jazz history and glam rock in a Grade II Listed building. Manages to be classy and play televised sports simultaneously. Don't miss the Marc Bolan shrine. 

The Sun Inn - 300 years of history in a Grade II Listed building, Georgian vibes and possibly some ghosts. 

The Red Lion - Duels, legendary sausage rolls, and Jimi Hendrix may or may not have scribbled “Purple Haze” on a bar napkin. 

Also plague, smallpox, a failed IRA bombing, the Father of Football, a ghost pond, the importance of Olympic Studios, Barnes to the history of 20th Century music, and Samuel Pepys pops up to cover a Barnes duel.

The Historic London Pubcast. Part history podcast for the London pub history, and part travel podcast for the lovely, fact filled London walking tours. It’s OK if you consider them London historic pub crawls. Either way you’ll be entertained on your London travels.
