Fall Back!

October 6, 2024
Or Autumn, as we call it in London. We're obviously often busy in the summer, but the Autumn is a great time in London. The leaves start turning colour and falling and there's no better time to retreat to a cosy British Pub... often by a fire.


Richard, our current writer/guide LOVES our literary Pubs. To the point where it's probably best to plan to spend the whole evening with us! Even after the pubs have closed, we are friendly with some of the private members clubs in Soho. So the night can go on if you want it too..!

But it's still a special feeling being in the 'Proles Pub, from George Orwell's 1984, or having a pint in the very bar where Dylan Thomas met his wife (SPOILER - It was love at first sight!) or opposite Charles Dickens' brothers shop. Or the pub where T.S. Elliot used to hold literary lunches. Or the Pub where 'Clockwork Orange' creator Anthony Burgess and his wife were threatened by a 'razor gang'! Ot the pub Dog that appeared in the 1930's film The Hound of the Baskervilles! 

So come and join us soon. Cheers!
 

Edinburgh Fringe Literary Pub Crawl. The Parting Glass!

We had a great time at the Edinburgh Fringe this August. It's the biggest open arts festival in the world! Writer of our London Literary Pub Crawl, Nick Hennegan, wrote one for Edinburgh. And we had a blast. And like our regular weekly London Pub Crawl he met some great new people!

Shane MacGowan - a personal tribute

November 30, 2023


Our writer, Nick Hennegan 
had the pleasure of meeting the Pogues frontman, Shane MacGowan - punk, traditionalist and perceived hell-raiser - who has passed away. They met in Soho, London. This is Nick's personal tribute on Bohemian Britain. Join us every Saturday on the Literary Pub Crawl at 5pm for a 'Rainy Night In Soho' and a 'Fairytale of New York... sorry... Soho!'

Maverick Theatre and TWO in the Pub. Shot with Tradition..!

April 21, 2023


Shots. Not big or clever. Although one per production should be okay! The TWO gang… Greg, Nick and Claire. 

It’s not big, and it’s not clever, but it’s a tradition we have at the Maverick Theatre Company that dates back to the 1990’s. The first night shot! Of course, it’s not compulsory for Maverick people to have a shot after our first production, or indeed drink any alcohol, but it goes back to the early days of Maverick at the Billesley Pub in Birmingham.

Our first pro...

About Us


Nick Hennegan Hello. I'm Nick Hennegan and I started the London Literary Pub Crawl. Most of the blogs on here will be by me. I've always written but my first theatrical success was an adaptation of Shakespeare's 'Henry V' (www.HenryVPlay.com) I founded Maverick Theatre in 1994. (www.MaverickTheatreCompany.com) This pub crawl is really more a promenade theatre performance than a tour and I'm running it with a bunch of enthusiastic local actors and writers. I love sharing my passion for the area and the artists. I also present a weekly radio show, 'Literary London' on Resonance 104.4fm - London's Arts Station and a podcast on our site. If you haven't visited us in London yet, I hope you'll come soon. Have a look at my new site, www.BohemianBritain.com. And feel free to leave comments or email me at nick @ LondonLiteraryPubCrawl.com - I reply to them all and I love to hear from you.
