London Wall Pub Crawl

Start at Tower Hill Station or Tower Gateway Station for those meeting from the DLR.

Meet at the Liberty Bounds, EC3N 4AA a JD Wetherspoon pub. Proceed along Minories (under the Tower Gateway bridge), to the [Chamberlain]?, a Fuller's pub, and/or the Young's pub, the Three Lords, EC3N 1DD.

Go to the end of Minories, you will see [St Botolph's Church]? opposite, and next to this, Aldgate Station. Proceed in the same direction you are travelling. Look out for the landmark of the gherkin building, and head towards this. You may want to use the subway to cross over the junction.

Proceed along Duke's Place, which changes its name to Bevis Marks. Take a left at St. Mary's Axe, and pop into the [Hogshead]?, under the shadow of the gherkin. Then return to Bevis Marks and take a left into Camomile Street, which is what it turns its name into next.

Continue in this direction across [Bishopsgate]? for some distance, as the road changes its name to Wormwood Street, then London Wall; you will begin to see the elevated walkways of the barbican. Proceed on this side of the road, and you will see [The Scottish Pound]? on the left.

When leaving the Scottish Pound, find an opportunity to cross over London Wall, and you will find a pub on the corner of the barbical, called the [Plough]?, which is a free house. You will need to climb a staircase to reach the pub.

Exit the plough on the first floor, and proceed along the elevated walkway complex that is the Barbican. Head for "The Postern", where there is another pub, the [Crowders' Well]?, a free house with a veritable range of ales (though some of them may not be kept too well).
