About the London Literary Pub Crawl Performance.
WE'RE RAPIDLY BECOMING ONE OF THE THINGS TO DO IN LONDON, AS OUR SOCIETY OF LONDON THEATRE AWARD PROVES!
Our performance tour is unique and run by A not-for-profit registered theatre charity and hosted by London writers, actors, blue badge guides and artists.
We're less a traditional tour and more a guided performance. See Where Anthony Burgess (A Clockwork Orange) was threatened by a real knife gang. Dylan Thomas met his wife, Caitlin, And T.S. Eliot renounced his U.S. citizenship to become British.
“The Maverick Theatre Company have audiences and critics purring. They’ve snuck their way into an enviable reputation. A remarkable company”
WHATS ON MAGAZINE.
“I WOULD RECOMMEND THE LONDON LITERARY PUB CRAWL TO ANYONE WHO LOVES ENGLISH LITERATURE, OR LONDON, OR BOTH! I WOULD ABSOLUTELY LOVE TO GO ON THE TOUR AGAIN NEXT TIME I’M IN LONDON AS THIS WAS SUCH A LOVELY EXPERIENCE.”
Marcela Santos, Rio de Janeiro, State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

It takes approximately three hours - although this depends on the needs of each group. Sometimes we go on all night - and includes live extracts of some stunning works and encounters with long-gone writers!
The tour covers just over a mile, so is fairly gentle and there are no hills, but sensible shoes, warm clothing and an umbrella may be a good idea. It rarely rains in London (!) but the tour will go ahead in spite of the weather!
No previous knowledge is assumed - indeed, part of the fun is discovering more about literature's household names. Private and Business Groups are encouraged too. And we've hosted some great stag and hen nights!
