As most people you ask will tell you, the best way to experience London is on foot. I would like to agree; however the only issue is I don’t really like walking. That is until I found out that you can walk, learn a whole lot about London and take regular rest breaks at great pubs on the Along the Thames Pub Walk.
I also found out that it’s also a great way to kick off a Stag night, which is exactly what we did for Powwownow’s Web Developer Mark who is getting married later this month.
So without going into all the explicit details of the evening, for a couple of hours of walking we covered St Paul’s Cathedral, the “blade of light” bridge, the church where Harvard University’s founder was baptised, an 18th-century pub that brews its own beer, London’s best skyline panorama, Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre (and its sister playhouse The Rose)…and the replica of Sir Francis Drake’s Golden Hinde, the ship that the great Elizabethan mariner sailed around the world over 400 years ago. To wrap it up we finished up at The George, London’s last remaining galleried coaching inn where we primed ourselves with beer and burgers for the long night ahead.
