Send us a text

Part 2 of our walk along Fleet Street’s pubs, uncovering stories that bring London’s past to life for modern visitors. From the dramatic downfall of Robert Devereux, once Queen Elizabeth’s favorite, to dueling scholars at The Grecian Coffee House, a conman exposed at The George, and even ghostly whispers in its basement, history is everywhere you turn. We’ll also step into the modern Temple Brewhouse and finish with a hidden underground gem - the former Aldwych Station. Perfect for travelers and history lovers alike, this journey brings familiar streets alive with unforgettable stories.
