How our brewery tours work
Every tour is a guided walk between working breweries and their taprooms, with a tasting at each one. No coach, no chains, no rushed pub crawl.
1. Pick a tour and a date
Choose Bermondsey (beer tasting, or cheese, meat & beer) or Hackney Wick, then pick a date and time slot. Tickets and live availability are handled by UK Brewery Tours at the checkout.
2. Meet your guide at the arch
Bermondsey tours meet at Southwark Brewing, 46 Druid Street, near London Bridge; Hackney Wick meets outside Crate Brewery. Full joining instructions come with your confirmation.
3. Taste at every stop
A tutored tasting at each brewery or taproom, beer included, led by an accredited Beer Sommelier in Bermondsey or a working brewer in Hackney Wick. Small groups, a few minutes' walk between stops.
4. Carry on, or make it private
Tours finish on the beer mile so you can keep going with our Beer Mile guide and map. Groups of six or more can book any tour privately with their own start time.
The taprooms
Between our Bermondsey tours you'll taste across the best of the mile — the line-up shifts to follow what's pouring best, so every tour's a little different.

"Having the beer included meant we could just relax and soak up all six taprooms. Best day out we've had in London."
"Did all three for a team away day of 18. The cheese & beer tasting to finish was perfect. Slick from start to finish."
"Visiting from Manchester and wanted proper craft beer. Discovered taprooms we'd never have found. Generous pours too!"
Frequently asked questions

What's the Bermondsey Beer Tasting Tour?
A tutored tasting tour of the Bermondsey Beer Mile led by accredited Beer Sommelier and Certified Cicerone® Paul Davies. Meet at Southwark Brewing, 46 Druid Street, and taste at four taprooms over 2–3.5 hours. £49 per person.
What's the Cheese, Meat & Beer Tour?
A 2.5-hour guided pairing walk on Saturdays, 12pm–2:30pm from Southwark Brewery — beer, British cheese and charcuterie tastings across three taprooms, in groups capped at around 13. £65 per person.
What's the Hackney Wick Craft Beer Experience?
A two-hour east London tour on selected Saturdays, 12:30pm–2:30pm, meeting outside Crate Brewery. Three venues, five beers and a shareable cheese platter, led by a working brewer. £41.25 per person.
Which taprooms will we visit?
On the Bermondsey tours, stops are drawn from the mile's best — Southwark Brewing, Anspach & Hobday, Moor Beer, Bianca Road, Mash Paddle, The Kernel and Billy Frank's among them. In Hackney Wick you'll visit two working breweries and a craft beer bar.
Is there a brewery crawl in London?
Yes — the Bermondsey Beer Mile is London's original brewery crawl: fourteen independent breweries, taprooms and a cidery in a mile and a half of railway arches. Walk it yourself with our Bermondsey Beer Mile guide and map, or do it as a tutored beer tasting tour with a Beer Sommelier.
What are the best breweries in London?
It depends what you drink, but on the Bermondsey Beer Mile alone you'll find The Kernel, Anspach & Hobday, Moor Beer, Bianca Road and Southwark Brewing, and Hackney Wick has Crate and Howling Hops. Our guide to the best breweries in London runs through them, and our tours visit the ones pouring best on the day.
Can I take a tour of Fuller's brewery in London?
Yes — Fuller's runs its own tours of the Griffin Brewery in Chiswick; our Fuller's brewery tour guide covers what's included and how to book. Our own tours focus on independent breweries in Bermondsey and Hackney Wick instead, with a tasting at every stop.
How do I book?
Each tour has its own ticket page with live dates, handled by UK Brewery Tours. For private groups, send us an enquiry instead.
