Drink at Dickens' and Thackeray's pub, the historical Trafalgar Tavern in Greenwich

Event: Drink at Trafalgar Tavern
Date: All year

The pub is part of Britain's fabric, a place where people have gone, generation after generation, to sit, drink and talk.

Its place in British society has not changed over the years and visitors to London can visit one example that is steeped in more history than most others in the capital.

The Trafalgar Tavern was a pub which represented the best of Britain's naval prowess and cultural standing, a place where William Gladstone and Charles Dickens would stand side-by-side and sip on a cold pint.

Stood in a Greenwich Maritime World Heritage Site, the building has remained relatively unchanged in its 170-year history and remains one of the capital's most iconic watering holes.

With its splendid bay windows, beautiful balconies and cosy atmosphere, it really is worth visiting for couples wanting to enjoy a quiet drink and a sit down.

After sipping a dry white wine in the Trafalgar Tavern, visitors can head to the luxury London hotel the 41 and spend the rest of the evening enjoying a bottle of Laurent Perrier Champagne, courtesy of the Suite Dreams package.

As well as champers, the deal includes a three-course table d'hote dinner for two in the neighbouring Library restaurant and chocolate-dipped strawberries to be enjoyed in a gorgeous room.
