Eric picked a unique approach to a historic London pub crawl on today’s episode. It’s all about pubs that are convenient to Borough tube station. Is it a Southwark pub crawl? Borough Pub Crawl? Or Borough Market Pub Crawl? It depends on who you ask! We will walk the four points of the compass around Borough tube station in Southwark’s Borough Market neighborhood. Borough pubs and Borough Market pubs aren’t just for sipping pints with your mates, they’ve been historic crime scenes, political stages, and occasionally royal hideouts.
We will stumble through pub stories of blood-soaked, carbolic washed floors and press gangs at The King’s Arms, emerald-tiled legends at The Lord Clyde, William Gladstone grudges and Southwark brothels at The Gladstone Arms, and King Charles II and one very famous oak tree at The Royal Oak pub. Savor London history far more entertaining than your school textbooks and quite possibly see some of the best pubs in London along the way. Tell your friend you found the best London travel tips right here on The Historic London Pubcast, your London travel guide through the best London walking tours, and British pub culture.
