This tour is approximately three miles in length and takes in eight Shepherd Neame pubs. With one exception, the pubs are located in the City of London, the famous Square Mile. This was the original Roman settlement from which the sprawling metropolis of London continues to grow. The City, as the area is known, houses much of the UK financial industry. You will need comfortable shoes, possibly some waterproof clothing and, above all, a head for history and a taste for good beer. It's also worth noting that the majority of City pubs do not open at the weekend.

They all start and finish at one of our pubs because, of course, the best thing about any ramble is rewarding yourself at the end with a drink or bite to eat!
