London Gin Safari: A Spirited, Juniper-Fuelled Jaunt

The Gin Safari takes you on a juniper-fuelled jaunt across London to reveal a story of gritty social history and the city’s turbulent affair with its favourite tipple. As we wobble our way around picturesque Dickensian architecture, libations of ‘mothers ruin’ will be served from our GinCycle™, a rickety Victorian gin parlour on wheels. The Gin Safari celebrates the eccentric and all that is best about the British. Think of it as a liquid history lesson on bicycles, with laughs and banter alon

Imagine a city where the spirits run high and the streets whisper secrets of a bygone era. Welcome to the London Gin Safari, a jaunt through the heart of the capital, serving up tales of social history and a stiff drink (or two) to keep you warm on a chilly night. As we pedal through the city streets on our very own GinCycle, you'll discover the gritty, the glamorous, and the downright peculiar side of Britain's beloved gin.
