Stroll through Maida Vale’s historic pubs. From the grand Edwardian staircase and beauty of The Warrington Hotel to the Victorian elegance, and secret snob screens of The Prince Alfred pub, to the canal-side charm of The Warwick Castle pub.
A blend of marvelous pub architecture, the best Victorian pubs in London, literary connections, and a dash of celebrity intrigue. Along the way, we’ll spot blue plaques, hidden histories, and even a brush with The Beatles Abbey Road’s crossing.
Discover hidden London gems such as Alan Turing’s birthplace, Warwick Crescent’s association with Poet Robert Browning and Lord Byron, Regents Canal Little Venice neighborhood, the film and TV connections to The Warrington Hotel, and Howard Marks drug smuggler pub connections to The Warwick Castle pub. We’ll even get a glimpse of that iconic Abbey Road Beatles crossing, just a short wander away.
This isn’t just a London pub crawl. We’ve got an episode packed with London travel tips, the best of London walks and London pub crawls. A storytelling session soaked in London pub history, British pub culture, and the faded glamour of Victorian pubs London and Edwardian pubs London.
