Additional Information

We offer private and small group tours, strolling through the historical district of Belgravia, a wealthy region adjacent to Buckingham Palace. This was an era when households employed huge staff of servants. These servants, after tiring days, required places to unwind, resulting in the emergence of several special pubs. On our London walk, we will share tales of the city’s most ghost-ridden pub. We’ll also stop by a pub that was a regular haunt for Brian Epstein and the Beatles. We’ll make our way to the neighbourhood’s last ‘Free House’ (sadly, this does not imply no-cost beverages!). We will also pay a visit to the site where a tragic fate befell a Hollywood icon and the residence where a talk during a dinner gathering led to the construction of the Titanic.

Location
Ferdinand Foch
Buckingham Palace Road
Across the street from Victoria station

Liquid History Pub Walk at Christmas - Recently visited Europe (Rome, Paris and London) over Christmas with my family of five. While staying in London on December 27th, we did a Pub Walk with "Mark" from Liquid History. All of the planning and booking was done through Tripadvisor. It turned out to be the best tour we took the entire trip. It began around 2pm and ended around 530pm in the last pub we visited. Having been on ghost walks and other types of walking tours before, Mark was truly the best guide we've ever had. Not only did he take us to four unique and historic London Pubs, but he also provided interesting historical information before we entered each one. He also explained the different types of beers we could expect in each pub and provided recommendations. He even provided suggestions about Gin Martinis at one particular pub known for their selection of Gins. This was appriciated by my wife who does not like beer. It was a small group of about 12 of us on the tour. We had plenty of time in each pub to enjoy a pint and socialize with other travelers on the tour. Mark was super friendly and spent time visiting with each of us while in the pubs. After the tour, we enjoyed a great dinner at fantastic Indian Restaurant called "Punjab," but that's for a different review. We all truly enjoyed the Pub Walk and Mark did a great job! Highly recommended!!

Wonderful afternoon spent uncovering the history of Belgravia's pubs! - This really is an excellent way of spending a sociable afternoon with friends and family. Even though I am pretty well informed on London's history being a Londoner, Grant really excelled in communicating his wealth of knowledge to us all. He really is a charming, friendly, experienced and informative tour guide with real in depth knowledge. Very enjoyable and highly recommended to anyone thinking about taking such a tour. Also we visited my favourite pub, The Grenadier!.

An afternoon very well spent - From the prompt and helpful pre tour information, initial warm and friendly greeting in London, to the well informed and interesting tour we very much enjoyed our experience. Grant certainly knew his stuff - both historic and modern - and the pubs we visited all had their own individual fascination. Belgravia itself was reasonably unknown to me so it was also good to understand more of how it works. Would certainly recommend and will be probably book Grants WW2 tour soon.
