An illustrated guide to London´s best pubs and their extraordinary history, presented by the founder of the world-famous Liquid History Tours. Pull up a stool for a thirst-quenching trundle through London´s liquid history in search of the city´s greatest pubs. We raise a toast in Shakespeare´s local, pop in for a pint at Jack the Ripper´s bar and push open the bloodstained doors of the Bucket of Blood. Liquid History is a beautifully illustrated love letter to London´s finest hostelries, written by the city´s leading pub tour guide and host of the celebrated Liquid History Tours. Profiling over 50 timeless boozers, this book tells the story of London´s history and the taverns that have hosted, harboured and refreshed its leading characters. Exploring the watering holes of London´s writers and artists, its most notorious criminals and celebrated figures, we move from architectural marvels to secretive backstreet boozers to join the dots for London´s ultimate knees-up.
