Fall Back!

Sun, 06 Oct 2024 16:12:55 +0100

Or Autumn, as we call it in London. We're obviously often busy in the summer, but the Autumn is a great time in London. The leaves start turning colour and falling and there's no better time to retreat to a cosy British Pub... often by a fire.

Richard, our current writer/guide LOVES our literary Pubs. To the point where it's probably best to plan to spend the whole evening with us! Even after the pubs have closed, we are friendly with some of the private members clubs in Soho. So the night can go on if you want it too..!

But it's still a special feeling being in the 'Proles Pub, from George Orwell's 1984, or having a pint in the very bar where Dylan Thomas met his wife (SPOILER - It was love at first sight!) or opposite Charles Dickens' brothers shop. Or the pub where T.S. Elliot used to hold literary lunches. Or the Pub where 'Clockwork Orange' creator Anthony Burgess and his wife were threatened by a 'razor gang'! Ot the pub Dog that appeared in the 1930's film The Hound of the Baskervilles!

So come and join us soon. Cheers!

Nick's extending the Literary Pub Crawl to the world's biggest open arts festival! Come and see us if you're in Edinburgh this August.
