Where to drink in London

London's beer story runs from coaching inns that served Dickens to railway-arch taprooms pouring hazy pale ales. The best-known modern chapter is the Bermondsey Beer Mile, a string of breweries and taprooms tucked beneath the railway arches south of Tower Bridge — pair it with a wander through Borough Market, one of the capital's oldest food markets, just up the road.

The City and Fleet Street keep the historic end of things alive, with centuries-old taverns like Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese hidden down narrow alleys, while Camden and Hackney anchor the craft scene in the north and east. Wherever you end up, the pub remains the point: settle in, order a pint of cask bitter, and take your time.

Don't miss:

  • The Bermondsey Beer Mile's railway-arch taprooms (Saturdays are liveliest)
  • Borough Market for a pre-tour lunch
  • The historic pubs of Fleet Street and the City
  • Camden Town's market and brewery taprooms
