Rob will delve into the fascinating narratives behind a selection of his favorite historic pubs, each with its own unique charm and significance.

Journey to a former coaching inn now under the stewardship of the National Trust, where echoes of bygone travelers still linger in its walls. Prepare to be enthralled by the story of a pub ingeniously built around the remnants of an old windmill, a testament to London’s ever-evolving urban landscape. Rob will even navigate the tricky, perennially debated question: which establishment truly deserves the title of London’s oldest pub?
