Inspired by Open City's book Public House: A Cultural and Social History of the London Pub by David Knight and Cristina Monteiro, public historian Sheldon K. Goodman draws on his own experiences a former City worker and will take you through Fleet Street, Ludgate, Blackfriars and Newgate to explore two thousand years of pub history.
Tracing the development of the pub as an enduring institution through societal upheavals and ending in a spectacularly beautiful pub, the tour will connect changes in pubs with wider social and political movements, as well as the challenges many of the surviving City watering holes face today.
