Joolz Guides: Rather Splendid London Pub Walks: A Charming Trundle through London's Neighbourhoods via Its Fabulous Drinking Houses
Pip pip and Tally-Ho… Joolz is back! Joolz ends every YouTube tour with a pint in a pub, so who better to walk us around the must-visit watering holes and drinking dens of the capital than our trusty resident tour guide?
Presenting 18 walks around popular and lesser-known parts of the metropolis, Rather Splendid London Pub Walks takes us on a leisurely weekend meander in search of a drink and a story. Each walk starts in a famous local, taking the scenic route from there to other popular pubs in the area. Whether it’s a wander around Wapping or the regal environs of Greenwich, along the Thames from leafy Chiswick, visiting the old gin palaces of Bloomsbury and Fitzrovia or historic boozers in Mayfair and Westminster, London is packed with gorgeous old public houses that can tell a million weird, wild and wonderful stories.
Illustrated throughout and with a map of each area to guide you, there are also special features and London insider knowledge, including pub paraphernalia and quizzes. Spend a happy day wandering then pull up a chair and settle down for a pint and a chinwag with Joolz.

"And it's going well!" Says Joolz, "I seem to have become the most well-known and recognisable London guide on youtube and am on a continuing quest to leave no stone unturned, no cucumber sandwich unbuttered."
