Celebrating the stories, culture and communities of the East End’s greatest pubs – before they vanish.
Take a tour through the past and present of the East End’s greatest pubs, exploring their forgotten histories, rich architecture and local communities as well as the landladies and lords fighting to keep this vital part of London’s cultural history alive.
