Customer Reviews

Highly recommended!
A good pick of pub walks with all the neccessary information about transport links to and from the routes. Fine colour maps make the walks easy to follow, and description of individual pubs tells you which ones to stop in and which ones to pass by.
I have found Ted Bruning's guides very useful, but the pub scene in London is changing so often it is neccesary to have new books quite often.
And this is far better than the last CAMRA London guide.

Great Beerienteering Guide to London
Used this guide over a glorious April weekend and it didn't let us down. Great pubs (usually - there was the odd duffer), with great beer. Clear mapping made the routes easy to follow, and the descriptions added some background to the beerienteering.

Had a great few days....
Spent an enjoyable few days "testing out" this Guide and I cant recommend it strongly enough. Its not really a guide to good beer, but a guide to Pub architecture and social history. Things like snug screens and astounding urinals... but the author also knows his beers and you can indeed find the very best beers as you wander along the walks. The illustrations show you what to expect and the maps guide you well. There are lots of little interjections and sidelines on Londons history and things to see en route between the pubs that you would otherwise miss and don't feature in other guidebooks
We ended up missing out most of the so called Real tourist spots like Buckingham Palace, to see the actual Real London that this book can show you. From ancient Inn to "back Street boozer". Came upon this via Rick Steves website and am jolly glad we did.
