Part 2 of our London pub tour of Fleet Street pubs with tales from The Devereux Pub, The George on the Strand, and the legendary Grecian Coffeehouse London.

Discover the rise and fall of Robert Devereux, once Queen Elizabeth I’s favorite, whose story ends in rebellion and execution. Then we head to the haunts of scholars and scammers—from duels at The Grecian Coffee House, to a London conman with a flair for fake clergy. Even a ghost in a haunted London pub basement.

Then it’s a pint at Temple Brewhouse, one of the finest London microbreweries, and a nod to the tradition of London pub history and modern craft beer.

We finish with a hidden underground gem - the former Aldwych Station. 

Whether you're planning a walking tour London adventure or just love a good story over a virtual pint, this episode is packed with London history, hidden London gems, and great London travel tips.
