Beer+Pubs=London

Spent an enjoyable few days “testing out” this Guide and I cant recommend it strongly enough. Its not really a guide to good beer, but a guide to Pub architecture and social history. Things like snug screens and astounding urinals… but the author also knows his beers and you can indeed find the very best beers as you wander along the walks. The illustrations show you what to expect and the maps guide you well. There are lots of little interjections and sidelines on London’s history and things to see en route between the pubs that you would otherwise miss and dont feature in other guidebooks We ended up missing out most of the so called Real tourist spots like Buckingham Palace, to see the actual Real London that this book can show you. From ancient Inn to “back Street boozer”. Came upon this via Rick Steves website and am jolly glad we did.
