You step out of Covent Garden’s glow and into a London evening that feels like a living play — lamp light pooling on cobbles, voices folding into the low hum of the market. The tour threads five distinct public houses, each with a different timbered face and a different ledger of stories: 13th‑century foundations, Dickensian corners, and the thick-voiced echoes of bare‑knuckle boxing rooms.
