The Social and Cultural Significance of #Britain’s Pubs 🤝

The public house has always been the difference between company and loneliness. This new world that takes comfort in the falseness of technology gives not a thought to what made the people we miss the most, so memorable, and so wholesome.

This painting by Charles William Wyllie depicts the Angel pub in #Rotherhithe, South #London (c.1887) [101 #Bermondsey Wall E, #London #SE16]. Like many riverside pubs, it was a den of cut-throats & press gangs. It sits on what was once the manor house of King Edward III (1300s).

The Pubs Of Alfred Hitchcock's Frenzy #CoventGarden, #London

Featuring (in order or appearance)
Bow Street Tavern @ bowsttavern
Nell of old Drury @ NellOfOldDrury
(1080p for X/Twitter/Telegram) 👔 🍻

Hitchcock's 'Frenzy' is a heartwarming view into 70s #London. One needn't even follow the plot to be lost in its nostalgic views and insights. It's brilliant, macabre plot takes nothing from its quaint brilliance. Various spots like the ones we include are scattered all over London, waiting to be rediscovered. Join us as we visit a few of the locations that are still available to the public.

An incredible antique image of #SevenDialsjunction & the 'Crown' pub in the #StGiles district of the Borough of #Camden, #London (within the greater #CoventGarden area) during the 19th century. Luckily, the Crown still exists, unlike much else in the image. @BritainsPubs @LostAndLivingPubs

The Grapes #Limehouse, East #London, #E14

(1080p [Low Quality] for Telegram)

The regenerated, former Docklands of #Limehouse are a prime example of historic, industrial warehousing becoming expensive, residential buildings. @TheGrapesLondon sits among the many old buildings that remind us of the busy Docklands and its many historic subjects. Its very existence, both inside and out, provides a beautiful view into a tragic and fascinating past.

Welsh Harp 🍻 - Market Sq, #WalthamAbbey, #Essex, #EN9

[1080p]
FULL 🎞 (High Quality)

#WalthamAbbey is a treasure trove of fascinating history. This gorgeously wonky pub building may well date back to the foundations of the Abbey itself, though it's difficult to say. The welcoming landlord, landlady, their daughter, and their charming barmaid welcomed and aided us in our project. We'd like to thank them not just for our welcome but for saving a pub we'd thought we'd lost. Instead of listing endless historical facts, I'll say watch the full video and, if possible, visit this charming public house while it's kind are still here to enjoy.

Music In Pubs - The Shortlands @ShortlandsTaver

Sing Along With @DeanoRifles777 (Madness - It Must Be Love) 🎼
1080p Edition

A sing along to raise a smile. After a busy day of recording songs @DeanoRifles777 brought the pub to life with his inclusive singalongs. Though we've recorded this track before, a sing along gives it an entirely different feel.

A fine day with @ChelseaDan5 and a host of amazing musicians. 🎹

I've (@VinnieSull1van) been toasting to celibacy for years, at the end you'll hear @DeanoRifles777 repeating what he thought was a passing comment, but this was a term used among myself and my friends for many years. We thoroughly respect, and enjoy the company of this fine selection of good humoured and talented people. May the future bring good things for all those involved.

Memories aren't made through dreams or fantasty, but by living out the very moments that become dreams all to themselves. 🤝

The ‘Hoop & Grapes’ - 47 #Aldgate High St, Greater, #London, #EC3N

We traversed to the @HoopandGrapes_ to discuss its historical interest and importance within #London and #Britain's overall pub scene. This pub isn't simply important as a pub. It's an insight into the many buildings that once made up the #CityofLondon before the 'Great fire' of 1666. ChelseaDan5 and myself (@VinnieSullivan) were joined by the wonderful @TheWonderingEnglishman. Together, we looked at the building not only for its registered history but for the many unknown moments it must have seen. We'd like to thank the staff who were incredibly helpful, polite, and facilitating. Our view into the cellar/tunnel was very special and ensured we'll be singing the Hoops praises for years to come. We hope you'll join us on YouTube.

Thank you all for joining us, you'll find the full feature in high quality below. 🤝🍻

Old Doctor Butler's Head 🍻
- Just what the doctor ordered. 🩺

2 Masons Ave, #London #EC2V

Hidden within the City of #London is a charming little public house with a few points of historical interest. When considering how much of it's like we've lost, it's clear that its very presence is as vital as understanding its past. Instead of embracing the many modern forms of entertainment that we consistently see popping up, I wish and hope you'll visit and appreciate such establishments while we still can. 🤝

Lamb And Flag - 33 Rose St, #CoventGarden, #London, #WC2E

A beauty, both outside and in. This pub, though charming to the eye, has a bloody history. Once referred to by locals as "the bucket of blood," the Lamb & Flag is a world of its own. The history of #London lies within its public houses. The many historical buildings that once housed or aided the population of Britain all owe a great deal of gratitude to their local pubs. It was here that people cut loose and shared valuable information. Before the world we know today, pubs were a place to do almost everything. From seeking employment to being tried for murder, the taverns of #Britain saw it all. Thank you all for joining us on our journey, we hope that you'll join us on #YouTube and continue to observe our work. To those who frequent the venues we cover, we thank you deeply. 🍻🤝

A few topical pub #tours will be given by @VinnieSullivan in #London during 2025. There will be a few months in between each tour, so you have plenty of time to book and attend. The tours will be a mixture of history, and the pubs involved. The date of the first tour will be released soon. The price will be around £25 and the tour will last around 3 hours.

Updates to follow. Thank you. 🤝

The Outtakes You Don't See..

Sometimes, I get it right the first time. Sometimes, I may need a couple of takes. But, other times, the world does all it can to terrorize us. This "tour-guide" (who looked like some kind of graffiti person, and who was literally stood on a scooter) saw what we were doing and rudely interrupted. Luckily, we're polite, but we certainly weren't ready for what he had to say. ChelseaDan5 and @VinnieSullivan (myself) lost our composure upon hearing him bring up a dish you'll all know. God only knows what he's telling these poor people. What you can't see is him holding up a picture of the dish, which has bugger all to do with the pub. I'm not sure what he thinks went on here as they then proceeded to take another 10 minutes taking pictures in front of it. We have many clips like this. One day we may compile a few to give you a glimpse of the many difficulties we face when trying to film in and around #London.

Wait for it..
