Tour details

Beer, Pubs + Secret Gems

A great pub tour is not only about the pints. It is the stories, the laughter, and that feeling you are among old friends, even if you met five minutes ago. We slip down cobbled lanes to tucked-away taverns with creaky floors and snug corners. Every stop feels like a new chapter in London’s story. Expect local brews, tall tales, and a host who knows their real ale.

Born in London. Built on stories.

Born in London. Built on stories.

Tally Ho began in 2011 with a love of local pubs and a few friends on bicycles. We pedalled from pint to pint, chasing history and atmosphere. Now we go on foot too, ducking down narrow cobbled lanes and into tiny boozers that feel like stepping back in time. Every route is handcrafted, every detail fussed over, and before long you’ll feel like part of the gang.
