The Open Guide to London: the free London guide - Differences between Version 7 and Version 6 of Pub Crawls
Contents are identical
The basic premise of the pub crawl is to visit a succession of pubs, rather than spending the entire evening or day in a single establishment. London offers an excellent choice of themes for your pub crawl.
Area-based crawls
The simplest pub crawl idea is to visit a number of pubs in a given area, for example Soho, or Holborn.
- Aidan's London Pub Crawls lists several area-based pub crawls, with maps showing the location of the pubs and interesting historical information on the areas covered.
- beerintheevening.com's pub crawl generator will attempt to generate a crawl originating in a particular area. You can choose the number of pubs you want to visit, and the maximum distance between them.
I plan to put together some pre-defined pub crawls, which give a cross section of types of pub and breweries etc. --IvorW
- Belgravia Crawl
- London Bridge Pub Crawl
- London Wall Pub Crawl
- City of London Pub Crawl
- Shoreditch Pub Crawl
River crawls
Start at a suitable pub on the riverbank, and travel along the bank in one direction, visiting pubs you pass on the way. For example, you could start at the Old Thameside Inn, and take in the Anchor, the Founders Arms, and Doggett's Coat and Badge.
Tube line or bus route crawls
Travel along one of the Tube lines or bus routes, visiting a pub at every stop.
- beerintheevening.com's pub crawl page describes crawls including various parts of the Northern line and the K5 bus route.
- fancyapint.com has the facility to list pubs near a given Tube station
- Circle Line Pub Crawl, done by several people who contribute to the Guide
Other themes
- beerintheevening.com's pub crawl page has several interesting ideas
- Pubs with Beer Gardens (there are lots of these; it might be a plan to combine this with other criteria)
