Last week, Foursquare and the History Channel launched the ‘HISTORY <3 London’ badge. The TV channel left a treasure trove of historical facts in the tips section of 607 locations in London. The premise is simple: if you follow the History Channel and check-in to enough locations, you get the badge, learn some history and get entered in to winning some prizes.

While visiting museums and churches can be educational, I’ve thought of something a little more fun. I have looked into all the pubs on History’s list, mapped them out and come up with some routes for a Foursquare ‘HISTORY <3 London’ Pub Crawl.

On Saturday, March 5, a few of us Tech PR and digital types from Speed and the wider PR community will be trying out one of those routes. We will be meeting at Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese at 1 pm for a pint before walking down to the Black Friar for another, once there we would cross the bridge to Anchor Bankside for one more pint, then grab a snack at Borough Market before going to celebrate unlocking the badge at The George Inn.

Sound like fun? Join us! Get in touch and let us know you are coming or just show up at Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese for some history, drinks and real life social networking.
