Went on Africa's most unusual pub crawl

A travel piece recounts a “pub crawl” in Jamestown, Accra’s oldest neighbourhood known for hidden stories tucked behind doorways and alleyways. Guided by Collins, the tour begins outside a large garage door where, until recently, the venue functioned as a working car wash. The story describes Jamestown’s micro-tours aimed at letting UK visitors experience everyday life rather than just major landmarks, and Jamestown Walking Tours as an early adopter of that model. The group navigates courtyards and alleys, passing cassava pounding for fufu and coffin makers. The writer highlights Ghana’s chop bars, informal pubs, and the community’s public culture of remembrance through obituary posters.
