One Line At A Time - The Northern Line: A Station-By-Station Pub Crawl Through London
The Northern line is London at its most contradictory - quiet villages and concrete hubs, historic pubs and modern bars, long afternoons and late-night finishes.
This book turns that complexity into a drinkable journey.
One Line at a Time: The Northern Line is a station-by-station pub crawl guide that follows the route from end to end, exploring how London changes after dark as you move through it. Each stop is treated as its own chapter, with atmosphere, pacing, and local character taking priority over box-ticking or excess.
This is not a challenge to drink as much as possible.
It's a guide to drinking well, moving smartly, and knowing when to stop.
Inside you'll find:
a clear chapter for every station on the line
recommended pubs and bars near each stop
guidance on when to linger and when to move on
advice on food, fatigue, shortcuts, and survival
mini-crawls for shorter nights and selective routes
a reflective finale on what the journey reveals about London - and you
Some sections are built for busy, high-energy nights.
Others reward slower pacing, conversation, and restraint.
You can follow the entire line, dip in for a few stops, or build your own route using the book as a framework.
Written with humour, honesty, and respect for local pub culture, this guide works whether you're:
planning a full day-to-night crawl
organising a weekend outing with friends
visiting London and wanting something beyond the obvious
or simply curious how one route can tell so many stories
This book doesn't offer official maps or perfect answers.
It offers something more useful: judgement, atmosphere, and choice.
Drink responsibly.
Move deliberately.
And remember - you don't have to finish the line to enjoy the journey.
