The three-hour walk begins as the city exhales—streetlamps fall across rain-dark cobbles and a guide leads you into narrow alleys where the low hum of traffic gives way to the clink of glasses. You move from a curated beer tasting to tucked-away courtyards, pausing inside timbered bars and beneath stone arches that have watched Londoners argue politics and poetry for centuries.
