London Pub Explorer Routemaster bus tour Saturday 19 July 2025 13:00
Join the London Pub Explorer for a truly unique day out exploring London’s rich pub estate and history in the style and comfort of a classic 1960s red double-decker Routemaster bus.
Starting in south London at one of the capitals premier independent pubs - Skehans of SE14 - we’ll stop at quality backstreet boozers both sides of the Thames on the vintage vehicle, en route to the East End, crossing London’s iconic Tower Bridge in the process.
First rate hospitality will then greet us in cherished local east London houses where a spread will be laid on to fortify our intrepid group after a day exploring in style.
A fun filled day out with commentary from the London Pub Explorer in the company of mutual pub lovers awaits those lucky enough to get their hands on a ticket.
To keep in the spirit of the occasion Sunday best attire is encouraged, but not expected. Gentlemen are invited to wear three-piece suits with flat caps or trilbies and posh frocks and fascinators for the ladies. Or simply come as you are and enjoy the (hopefully) wonderful English summer.
CASH MUST BE BROUGHT FROM YOUR POINT OF ORIGIN AS TWO PUBS DO NOT ACCEPT CARDS AND WE WILL NOT BE NEAR ANY CASH POINTS ON OUR ROUTE
