    Smithfield Market

    The tour begins at Farringdon station which is easily accessible from whichever direction you're coming from. We will, of course, stop in a beautiful pub during the walk, and will end our tour in a pub which is both culturally significant as well as comfortable. A major benefit of this particular tour is that it's more quiet than many the bustling locations where it may feel too loud or overwhelming to properly connect with, or enjoy the subjects in being discussed. The significance of British pubs concerong our history is vital when discussing the past. Our Pubs served as courts, funeral parlers and of course, a place for people to meet what would become their families. Our Pubs were present through each historic epoch and were the bases and social spots of England's criminals and royals alike. I enjoy to leave people with a sense of nostalgia as well as historical information and hope you will take more away from the event than the average tour.
