Welcome to the London Rum Trail podwalk. The first ever podwalk on rum and London.

This journey will take to you historic and present rum landmark sites. And all stops along your rum trail will provide the opportunity to experience London’s rum culture. Note that some stops are better (aka you should!) via other transportation than on foot.

Geo data, address and some public transportation advise, is available in the notes for each episode.

Tip: download the TFL Go app (https://tfl.gov.uk/) - to go from point a to b via tube, bus or train.
