Back in September, we reported on the news that Secretary of State for the Environment, Elizabeth Truss, had suggested the organisation of a London distillery tour to drive tourism pounds towards these small businesses.

Well, the idea has now become a reality thanks to the Wine and Spirit Trade Association (WSTA), who have this week announced a new London Gin Trail.

The trail takes in 12 sites in all (see full list below), from big distilleries like Beefeater, to craft producers like the East London Liquor company, top gin bars such as Graphic and Duke’s Hotel and, perhaps less obviously, the Houses of Parliament Shop.
