Full description

The Gin Safari is a juniper-fuelled jaunt across London to reveal a story of gritty social history and the city's turbulent affair with its favourite tipple, gin. As you wobble (cycle) around picturesque Dickensian architecture, libations of mother's ruin are served from the GinCycle, a rickety Victorian gin parlour on wheels. Expect a gentle cycle, bustling food markets, colourful graffiti, fabulous views, interesting insights, cheeky jokes, and plenty of gin tasting.
