A legendary London tradition where participants visit a pub near each station on the Circle Line of the London Underground. This challenge involves 27 stations, making it a formidable endeavor that inspired Chicken Rush.
The Circle Line forms a loop through central London, encompassing key areas such as Westminster, the City of London, and Kensington. Participants typically start at a station of their choice and proceed clockwise or counterclockwise, aiming to visit a pub near each station.
Given the line's configuration, some choose to exclude the extension to Hammersmith, focusing solely on the loop. The challenge is to complete all 27 stations in one day - a true test of endurance and navigation skills.
To host your own Circle Line Pub Crawl:
Here's the complete Circle Line route with suggested pubs at each station:
Note: Pub availability and names may change over time. Always verify current information before your crawl.
Start Early: Begin around 11 am to ensure ample time for the entire route.
Pace Yourself: Opt for half-pints or alternate with non-alcoholic beverages to maintain stamina.
Stay Hydrated: Drink water regularly and consider having a substantial meal before starting.
Plan Your Route: Familiarize yourself with the pub locations and transport options between stops.
Safety First: Always drink responsibly and be aware of your limits.
While the Circle Line Pub Crawl is legendary, Chicken Rush takes the concept further with GPS tracking, live maps, competitive gameplay, and explosive weapons.
