Sweeney Todd & Other Demons Walking Tour
The tail of Sweeney Todd has enthralled people ever since he has slashed his way onto the pages of London folklore in the 19th century. The tour is not only about Sweeney Todd, it’s also about all the other murderous characters from that period. Well worth going on and it finishes in a hunted pub no better place to end a tour all this and more on an Irish Rugby Tours tour.

The Clink Prison Museum
The Clink Prison was a real prison and built in 1144 was one of England’s oldest and most notorious prisons. Situated Southwark which was associated with its raucous and unruly behaviour it was deemed the perfect location to build it. Over the 600 years it witnessed a remarkable amount of social and political change in England and housed many characters and sinners throughout its existence including debtors, heretics, drunkards, harlots and later religious adversaries. I’ve never been to prison but this is one I would to go to on my Irish Rugby Tours tour.
Camden Lock Market
Camden Lock Market is a haven. It’s not just about the food and shops there though, it’s a proper little slice of London life. The people, the atmosphere, the buskers – all of it makes Camden Market a thoroughly lovely place to wander around. If you’re the sort of person who likes to get chatting to new people you’ll be in your element. If you’re into your music you have to visit the Dr. Martens Boot Room where it gives the opportunity to new bands and solo artists to show off their talents. You can even pop into the London Sound Academy and learn how to become a DJ, it’s a great place to visit and spend the day all this and more on a Irish Rugby Tours tour.

London Lidos
St. Ann’s swimming pool in Westminster was my local but alas is no more but it’s great to see new pools and Lidos spring up across London from the purpose-built swimming pools of London Fields and Brockwell Park to the natural ponds at Hampstead Heath. It’s a great way to spend a summers day with the English sun on your back with Irish Rugby Tours.

Down at the Chin Chin Labs they now can perfectly concoct ice creams frozen with liquid nitrogen. Allow your mouth to water as you peruse a menu that changes weekly it really is mouth watering. They have 3 stores around London where you can pop in for a cone or tub, the Chin Chin Labs in Camden, the Desert Bar in Rotherhithe and the Chin Chin Club in Soho another bit of magic from Irish Rugby Tours.
