Download or read book Great Pubs of London written by George Dailey and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2019-04-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A pocket-sized edition of the best-selling Great Pubs of London, this book celebrates London's most significant and historic pubs. For centuries, the pub has been an essential part of London's cultural and social fabric. This book takes readers through the doors of 25 historically and architecturally significant London pubs. Through photographs specially commissioned for this project, readers can explore these institutions--from snob screens to 400-hundred-year-old flagstone floors. Engaging texts highlight what makes each pub so special, their place in London's history, the personalities who have frequented them, the events that occurred inside, and the ways pubs have contributed phrases such as "on the wagon" and "one for the road" to the modern lexicon. This book reveals why the Lamb and Flag in Covent Garden earned the nickname the "Bucket of Blood," and features a pub that Charles Dickens described as a "great rambling queer old place". Furthermore, the book muses over the chances that Casanova paid a visit to The Dog and Duck in Soho, and uncovers the location of Charles De Gaulle's favorite wartime watering hole. This fascinating book is a must-have for anyone with a love for these London institutions and its new, easy-to-carry format makes it perfect for taking on a historic pub crawl.

For all races of Teutonic origin the claim is made that they are essentially home-loving people. Yet the Englishman of the sixteenth and seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, especially of the latter, is seen to have exercised considerable zeal in creating substitutes for that home which, as a Teuton, he ought to have loved above all else. This, at any rate, was emphatically the case with the Londoner, as the following pages will testify. When he had perfected his taverns and inns, perfected them, that is, according to the light of the olden time, he set to work evolving a new species of public resort in the coffee-house. That type of establishment appears to have been responsible for the development of the club, another substitute for the home. And then came the age of the pleasure-garden. Both the latter survive, the one in a form of a more rigid exclusiveness than the eighteenth century Londoner would have deemed possible; the other in so changed a guise that frequenters of the prototype would scarcely recognize the relationship. But the coffee-house and the inn and tavern of old London exist but as a picturesque memory which these pages attempt to revive.
Download or read book Discovering London s Inns and Taverns written by John Wittich and published by Shire Publications. This book was released on 1996 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: London's public houses evolved from two separate institutions: the inn, providing accommodation, and the tavern, serving drinks. The author has chosen over 150 places of refreshment, some old, some new, but each with its own distinctive character. He has grouped them into areas so that the thirsty explorer may visit several at a time. He describes their location, tells something of the history and legend of the older houses and mentions famous customers of the past. About the author John Wittich has lectured on London and architecture for many years. A guide-lecturer of the London Tourist Board, he holds Fellowships of the Royal Society of Arts and the Ancient Monuments Society. He is a Freeman of the City of London and Liveryman of the Worshipful Company of Woolmen, and a Member of the Court of the Worshipful Company of Parish Clerks.
