A Wapping good time is had by all as Eric takes us on a stroll down Wapping’s riverside, uncovering the dark history of two of London’s most famous River Thames pubs — The Prospect of Whitby and The Town of Ramsgate.
Host Eric Blair guides us through Wapping London history. Where pirates once sipped their final ale before meeting their fate at the Execution Dock London to Captain Kidd’s double hanging, to Judge Jeffreys caught in disguise, these taverns have seen it all.
Hear chilling tales of Captain Kidd, Judge Jeffreys, Captain James Cook, and William Bligh of Mutiny on the Bounty fame. Expect a mixed tale of mutiny, murder, and maritime mayhem. It’s a heady mix of London pub history, maritime London, and a few pints’ worth of scandal and surprise. Whether you’re into historic London pubs, Thames River history, or just love a good ghost-free pirate story, this one's for you.
Perfect for fans of London walking tours, historic pub tour London, or those planning a trip and looking for London travel tips, London hidden gems, and authentic pub stories.
This is London history podcast meets London travel podcast meets London pub podcast meets London travel guide.
