Premium Private Literary Pub Tour in London
Join this premium and private Literary Pub Tour in London and see the pubs and taverns where the giants of the literary world ate, drank, discussed, thought and worked.
This new and unique tour is artist-led and arranged by The Maverick Theatre Company, a not-for-profit charity. Usually your host will be Nick Hennegan, M.A. There's a lovely synergy, that by coming on the tour, you are supporting a current generation of (usually) struggling writers and artists in London!
The private tour takes in not only the history of literature in London but some of its contemporary places and spaces too - including those relevant to songwriters such as Sir Paul McCartney and Jimi Hendrix - and looks at some key elements in the writers' lives. Tours start in Fitzrovia and end in Soho, and include those pubs and bars associated with the British Film industry and contemporary writers. So you never know which modern writers or artists you might bump into...!

About Nick Hennegan
His Mom said he was "more trouble than all her other kids put together."
He felt sorry for his Mom. Being from a council estate housing project his career choices were limited. He tried to do the right thing for his Mom and get a proper job after he left school at 15, but his Dad's factory closed and everyone got laid off, so he tried other things.
Now he mainly writes stuff. Although he set up the Maverick Theatre Company on his old council estate in Birmingham to encourage new audiences to try theatre. And he was the first in his family to eventually get to university and now has an M.A. in Creative Producing. Nick has won a few awards directing, worked at Shakepeare’s Globe and won a bursary from The Society of London Theatre for producing, plus a Guiness Award through the Royal National Theatre and A Sony Radio Award. He was nomintated for "Creative Briton’" and "Midlander of The Year." His Shakespearean adaptations have received rave reviews around the world and his last screenplay was voted one of the top 20 in the UK. He has a weekly radio show on Resonance 104.4 fm. And his podcast was voted No 2 Top Bohemian Podcast on the web!
His Mom might think this is showing off a bit, but Nick is quite relieved the factory route was shut off for him after school.
