It Start
The tour begins at The George Inn, one of London’s oldest and most well preserved historical pubs, conveniently located near London Bridge, The Shard and Borough Market. The guide will be waiting for you by the gates into the courtyard. Look for someone in costume, failing that look for someone in a ridiculous/fabulous hat.
Do I Need To Bring Anything?
Aside from courage and a strong stomach, not really. The tour takes place outdoors, so make sure to dress appropriately for the weather and bring an umbrella if it is set to rain.

In 2018 we were running a special version of the tour specifically for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. It had everything that you would expect from one of our tours. No holes barred, no stomach left unturned, no romantic notion left un-devastated.
We explored the realities of Edinburgh life, what it meant to be one of the common folk of Scotland, how the clans fit into society, all the while ruining any happy notions you may have of this beautiful city, and just when you think things couldn't get any worse, we had just started the show.
