Discover London’s historic alehouses
The half-day walking tour will take you to centuries-old alehouses that brim with history and local culture. At each pub that you visit, you can relish a classic British ale (at your own expense) while your guide enchants you with stories of legendary figures who were regulars of these establishments. Banking elites and literary icons alike such as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Charles Dickens frequented these very same pubs for a pint and inspiration.
Beginning in the heart of London, the knowledgeable guides bring travellers to unique pubs that aren’t on the usual tourist trail, allowing them to have a more authentic experience of the city. But this tour isn't only about having a pint or two, travellers will also have the opportunity to see popular attractions like St Paul’s Cathedral and former Shakespearean playhouses.
Drink and explore the streets of London
Imagine walking down the streets of London enjoying a beer and getting acquainted with the city. The tour will take you through Fleet Street, famous for being the centre of Britain's journalism industry. Here, travellers can have a drink at a local boozer before moving on to a side street into a 17th-century pub.
The tour ends at Covent Garden where guests are armed with insider recommendations to continue their pub exploration independently. Thanks to its small-sized groups, the tour ensures personalised attention. With knowledgeable local guides, get answers to as many questions about the city pubs as you want and celebrate London’s unique pub culture that has become an integral part of its heritage.
The walking tour lasts about 3 hours and 30 minutes. You can book the tour here.

NewsChina: Chinese scientists achieve breakthrough in hyper-spectral imaging technology
China - November 26, 2024 Chinese scientists achieve breakthrough in hyper-spectral imaging technology (Voice_over) Chinese researchers have made a big leap in hyper-spectral imaging technology, which is used in sensors to rapidly and accurately recognize an object in a complex environment. Developed by researchers at the Beijing Institute of Technology, the broadband hyper-spectral image sensors are equipped with advanced spectral chips and powered by AI algorithms. In one demonstration, researchers showed how the technology can be used to differentiate between a silicone face mask and a real human face. (Sound_bite) Wang Zhen, PhD student, BIT Center for Scientific Exploration in Complex Environment (BISC): "Here is a facial mask made from silicon rubber that has a fundamental difference in spectral properties compared to our real human face. Through this difference, we can accurately detect and identify disguises." (Voice_over) The hyper-spectral device can simultaneously capture geometric information and dozens, even hundreds, of spectral bands, making it easy to differentiate between objects that look alike. (Sound_bite) Bian Liheng, Professor, BIT Center for Scientific Exploration in Complex Environment (BISC): "To capture spectral information across the full spectrum—from the three primary colors to hundreds of spectral bands—we need more materials for broadband spectral modulation. That's why we have developed over 100 materials that can modulate the incoming light across a broad spectrum. This enables us to collect light from hundreds of spectral bands onto a chip. When combined with intelligent algorithms, this chip-based technology integrates both hardware and software to form a powerful function." (Voice_over) The achievement has been published in the November 6th edition of the journal Nature. [Restriction: No access Chinese mainland]
