    Gin Lab is awesome!

    We had a wonderful time at the Gin Lab in Greenwich (just across the Thames from London). Jamie was an outstanding host--informative and engaging! He guided us through the process of creating our own gin with expertise and flair. Highly recommend!

    Top Gin Experience in London

    The gin making was amazing, the staff especially Jamie were fantastic and so much fun!! They know their stuff when it comes to Gin-making and they made the experience sooooo worthwhile!! This was our first time to London and my fiancé gave this as a birthday gift-it was such a great time and the Greenwich Gin they make here is amongst the best I’ve ever had, and it’s not even close!! Would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys gin and having a good time!! Drinks are very reasonably priced during the event and the host (Jamie) makes the environment informative and such a blast!! Whenever we come back to London, we will be coming back here without a doubt!!

    Five Star Experience

    We had a total BLAST making a few bottles of our own gin! From learning the history, to tasting mixed flavours & notes, and then curating our own bottles, it was so fun and informative. Our guide Jamie was full of energy and knowledge that he so willingly shared with the group, shaping this into a fantastic afternoon. We would love to come back.

    Lovely and tasty workshop

    Had a lovely afternoon with my boyfriend. I booked this experience for his birthday. We learned more about the history of Gin. How to make it and how to build our signature gin. Nice experience, excellent hosts. And of cource free G&T' are a added bonus. Definitly recommend this experience. Especially because there is loads more to do and see in the neighbourhood.

    London: Gin Lab - Make your own gin: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.

    How much does London: Gin Lab - Make your own gin cost?

    +

    Prices start at £68 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in London usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does London: Gin Lab - Make your own gin take?

    +

    Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in London is not rushed.

    Is London: Gin Lab - Make your own gin worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 64 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule London: Gin Lab - Make your own gin?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is London: Gin Lab - Make your own gin suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book London: Gin Lab - Make your own gin?

    +

    Around 22 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in London can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in London and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does London: Gin Lab - Make your own gin start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central London within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in London?

    +

    London's best attractions split cleanly: the museums are free and need no booking, so the paid market is about views, theatre and getting out of the city for a day. That makes value scoring unusually important here, and the Outty Ranking penalises anything charging premium prices for access you could get for nothing. On Outty we rank every London experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour, Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit London?

    +

    May to September for long evenings, December for the Christmas markets. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in London?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in London: Gin Lab - Make your own gin?

    +

    Included: 10% off bottle purchases and cocktails; G&T with your bespoke gin; Full bottle of your bespoke gin to take home; Guided sampling of botanicals and flavours; and Guided history of gin and distillation methods. Not included: Distillery tour. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
