Pub chain Greene King is offering a pint of Guinness or a Gin and Tonic across its London establishments. 

The offer is available in over 115 pubs in London between April 21st – 23rd. 

“The three day offer means if you’re exhausted and want a much-needed rest after your marathon, you can pop down to one of our pubs until Tuesday (23rd) and enjoy your hard-earned free drink,” Alex Dawson, business unit director, for Greene King pubs, said.
