Essentially a tour of London's pubs selected for their unusual atmosphere, this is an Insider's book written by a man whose hobby for many years was to explore the byways of a city with the beguiling trick of leading one under an archway or up an alley to usher one into an atmosphere of a bygone era....a genuine coaching inn....an intriguing cellar lit by candle light...a discreet lounge with good wine & Shakespeare being performed across the yard...a pub for the cosmopolitan that puts on plays from Kafka to Coward. He takes you to Jazz pubs, Stock Exchange pubs, Gay pubs, Drag pubs to explore every aspect of the Londoner's lifestyle.Gammell, David is the author of 'London's Most Interesting Pubs', published 1992 under ISBN 9781873203163 and ISBN 1873203160.
