One Line at a Time: The Piccadilly Line
A Station-by-Station Pub Crawl Through London
The Piccadilly line is London at its most global - and its most local.
It runs from leafy suburbia to packed tourist streets, from quiet neighbourhood locals to airport terminals where nobody is staying for long. Drinking it reveals a city in constant motion: commuters, travellers, regulars, and passers-through all sharing the same rails, rarely the same reasons.
This book guides you station by station along the entire Piccadilly line, showing you where to drink, how long to stay, how many pints to have, and when to move on. It's not about ticking off pubs for the sake of it. It's about pacing, judgement, and understanding how each part of the line behaves.
Inside you'll find:
Every Piccadilly line station covered from first stop to last
Practical pub choices near each station - and when to skip
Clear guidance on pints, walking distance, and stamina
Heathrow and Uxbridge branch logic explained properly
Mini crawls, shortcuts, and branch-only days that actually work
Timing advice to avoid crowds, tourists, and dead zones
A final reflection on what the Piccadilly line reveals about London itself
Written in a calm, observant style, this is a pub crawl guide for people who care about flow over excess, structure over chaos, and finishing cleanly rather than fading out.
Whether you're planning a full run, breaking the line into manageable sections, or just looking for a smarter way to drink London, this book treats the Piccadilly line as it deserves to be treated: thoughtfully, strategically, and with respect for the city it moves through.
Drink it with intent.
Move when it's time.
And let the line show you how London really works.
