One for the Road. A tour of Bankside's boozers
Better Bankside, 18 Great Guildford Street, London, Greater London, SE1 0FD
Bankside has been associated with beer and brewing for centuries. The riverfront from here to Bermondsey was once dominated by docks, wharves and breweries - and the powerful smells that came with them. But why did brewing flourish here? Those breweries have long disappeared. Yet clues to Bankside’s famously “smelly industries” survive. All is not lost. Our historic pubs continue to thrive at the heart
of a vibrant and diverse neighbourhood.
Join storyteller Mr Londoner to explore Bankside’s sometimes chaotic past and uncover the surprising stories behind some of its best watering holes - with opportunities to sample their wares.
