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.

\n

Area-based crawls

\n\n

The simplest pub crawl idea is to visit a number of pubs in a given area, for example Soho, or Holborn.

I plan to put together some pre-defined pub crawls, which give a cross section of types of pub and breweries etc. --IvorW

River crawls

\n\n

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]?.

\n

Tube line or bus route crawls

\n\n

Travel along one of the Tube lines or bus routes, visiting a pub at every stop.
