About This Event

The Devil to the Old King is a walking tour of pubs on and around Fleet Street. Starting at Temple tube station, the tour explores historic pub buildings and associated stories. Tickets cost between £12.50 and £17.50.

We find some of London's legendary pubs, finest pub buildings, with stories of great writers, disgraced courtiers and misleading pub names.

Fleet Street is one of London’s most famous thoroughfares. And it contains some of London’s most legendary pubs. They have served as the watering holes of journalists, lawyers, tourists, intellectual and artistic types and just ordinary Londoners.

Richard’s tour knits together some of the best pubs in the Fleet Street area (and associated history), bringing you stories of writers (Pepys, Johnson, Dickens, Edgar Wallace), drunken journos, disgraced courtiers and a sadly short-lived crown prince. He shows off some of the finest pub buildings, the sites of great pubs of Fleet Street past and two pubs whose names are not all that they seem - one of which packs quite a punch!

A pub interval stop will be included.

The walk will end at Ludgate Circus, not far to walk to St Paul's, Thameslink and Blackfriars stations.
