This is a great way to discover pubs in London. I loved all the historical facts and information included. Both about pubs in general and the individual pubs featured.

It was good to learn more about pubs I had already visited and also to pick some pubs I would like to visit in the future.

A fun and informative way to discover new places to go. A fab read. I’m now going to get my husband to read it and pick his favourite to visit soon.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for an advance copy in exchange for an honest review.

Did you know that the city of London has an average of 25 pubs per square mile, making it the most pub-dense city in the world? This informative guide showcases 52 pubs and describes significant history that occurred near each. It's like an historical field trip with beer -- a fine way to learn with info-rich text and fine color photos. Cheers!

Disappointing.

I thought this would be a good guide to London pubs with some decent photos of interiors. I was rather random bits of history interspersed with photos of the outside of pubs.

There are better books out there on the subject matter.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC

4.5/5
Very informative. I was expecting more about the history of the pubs of London instead of the overall history of London and England, but well-written nonetheless. I appreciate that the addresses for each of the pubs are listed to make them easier to find. I've visited London twice and loved some of the familiar spots I've seen.

We’re always in the process of planning our next trip to London (never quite make it) and pubs will be a big part of the visit. There’s a lot of history included in each description and the book is laid out by that history, such as conquest or commerce, rather than location, which will require a little more effort to seek them out; I prefer guides to be laid out by location so if I find myself in a particular area, I can just look to see what’s in the area. Otherwise, this was a fun guide that will make you seek out these pubs.

I have visited a few pubs in London but this will help me push my visits to the next level and cannot wait to visit more pubs in London soon with the help of this guide.

I love London and this was a perfect book The Pub Lover's Guide to London by Callum Moy had great history and information about the Pubs. Included were some great photos. My favourite was learning about the Sherlock Holmes Pub. Thank you to the publisher and author for a copy of this book to review. #ThePubLoversGuidetoLondon #NetGalley

What a great book for both Londoners and tourists. Having travelled to London recently, there were so many pubs to chose from that I would have wanted this book in my pocket for both the concise history of London and to visit pubs connected with various historical events for enjoying a pint. Broken down by 13 various categories such a religion, crime and punishment even conquest, Callum Moy shares a sense of London past with the ability to enjoy a little piece of it today. The information provided about the ales served and food was also helpful. And the photos are great! Thank you #NetGalley for this ADR of #ThePubLoversGuidetoLondon.

I don't drink alcohol, but I love England, I love pubs, I love history, and I love this book! I was so excited to see this book because I am visiting London next month, and I hope I get to see some of the pubs I read about. The book is technically about pubs, but it has so much more. There are clear explanations of several important parts of British history, along with the context of changes over time in the city. I learned about hundreds of years of politics, disease, and other important events. The most hilarious thing was how many pubs claim to be the oldest.
Thanks so much to NetGalley for letting me read this! I have a friend I need to go order a copy for.

I love London and I love pubs — but as a tourist, my time in London is always too short and I can’t keep up with the changing pub scene from afar. “The Pub Lover's Guide to London” is a great mashup of the city’s history and culture, and how those relate to the 7,000 pubs within London's metropolitan area. The book showcases 52 pubs the authors consider worthy of a visit and puts them into both geographical and historical context. If I lived in London, I’d go to one a week but, as it is, I'll use this book to plan a few into my next visit.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the digital AR

Frist of all, thank You Netgalley for the ARC granted. An ultimate guide for historical and relevant informations about one of the most known British places in the world:Pubs. I liked it.

I received a free copy of, The Pub Lover's Guide to London, by Callum Moy, from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This is a handy guide to pubs in London, It was a very interesting read about the pubs, and I loved the pictures of the various pubs.

This is an absolute beaut of a book. This would be the best gift for my dad or husband they would love all the history tidbits and the photos are stunning. This is definitely a conversation starting book to have out as decor or just enjoy.

Thank you for this ARC from Netgalley

The Pub Lover's Guide to London by Callum Moy Had me absolutely intrigued as I have spent many a weekend enjoying the more "fluid" aspects of London but mostly around the Camden area (I was so very surprised when The Worlds End and Dingwalls were not featured due to their cultural significance to the music and comedy scene, but maybe next time?) Nevertheless, I dived in and what a joy!

I am going to be following this book as a guide next trip as one thing I have not done is explored some of these locations in detail (I am especially keen to visit St Mary Axe, more for the literary reference than historical to be fair, but the historical is a plus!

The photography is wonderful and I especially liked the composition capturing the grandeur and pagentry of the Trafalgar Tavern with brilliant sunshine and flags fluttering. The images throughout authentically capture the heart and history of the location, a perfect representation of iconic locations

The book is written in an engaging and well-researched way, describing the most poignant and well-known historical events, as well as many very important cultural events, therefore appealing to all parts of soceity (and as such, anyone wishing to visit London for the first or thirtieth time will enjoy this book)

Not remotely touristy, all immersive and a really good book to have on hand for your jaunt to the 'Ton!
