London Gin Safari: A Juniper-fuelled Jaunt
Ride vintage British bikes through industrial-chic London. Taste from the GinCycle as we trace the city’s gritty gin story.
“A unique way to see some of the more local but interesting parts of London, from Waterloo to Bermondsey, whilst being educated on the history of gin — with plenty of drinking it too.”
Dan G.
From £75 per person
A liquid history lesson on bicycles, with laughs and banter
The Gin Safari is a juniper-fuelled jaunt across London to reveal a story of gritty social history and the city’s turbulent affair with its favourite tipple, gin!
As you wobble (cycle) around picturesque Dickensian architecture, libations of ‘mothers ruin’ will be served from our GinCycle™, a rickety Victorian gin parlour on wheels.
Expect a gentle cycle, bustling food markets, colourful graffiti, fabulous views, interesting insights, crude jokes, and, of course, plenty of gin tasting!
