ABOUT LONDON UNTAPPED
London Untapped tours uncover the history of the city through its pubs, inns and taverns, visiting famous sites alongside often undiscovered gems. The Square Mile is home to over 200 drinking establishments and 2,000 years of history including plots, plagues, politics, a cork-popping parrot and the invention of IPA. London’s pub history provides a unique picture of the past of our beloved capital.
Walking tours are suitable for anyone with an interest in the history of London. From first-time visitors to long-term Londoners wanting to discover the hidden stories and alleyways of the city. As well as listed walks, we can build bespoke tours to suit your group, from tipplers to teetotallers. We specialise in corporate events, offering an alternative to the usual group team building; part guided walk, part social event and providing a fascinating local history lesson for your team.
