Interesting pub tour in hot London. This trip was not just about drinking but a guide whose name I don't remember (group Friday 14.8 at 2 pm Many Americans:) as well as a couple from England and a solo traveler from Finland and a lady from America) Of the four pubs we visited, three would have been missed. Great history of England and pubs, keep it up. akupetteri5
