Product Description
Product Description
This is the definitive guidebook to London's most unspoilt pubs. Ranging from gloriously rich Victorian extravaganzas to unspoilt community street-corner locals, this book is lavishly illustrated in colour. Combined with fascinating insights into London's brewing heritage, pub names, beer styles and more, "London Heritage Pubs - An Inside Story" is a must for anyone interested in London's pubs.There are a great many books about London pubs and a number about historic London pubs. None, however, take such a strict and detailed view of pub heritage as "London Heritage Pubs - An Inside Story" and none have the breadth of other content that marks this book out as such a unique and valuable title.A media campaign will support the launch.
About the Author
Geoff Brandwood has a PhD in architectural history and a special interest in the Victorian age. He was Chairman of the Victorian Society from 2001-2007. Horrified by the wholesale disappearance of historic pub interiors in recent years, he is part of CAMRA's Pub Heritage Group which identifies and seeks greater recognition for the treasures we have left. He is co-author of English Heritage's best-selling Licensed to Sell: The History and Heritage of the Public House (2004). Jane Jephcote's interest in London's historic pub interiors began in 1991 when she joined CAMRA's London Pubs Group of which she is now Chair. The Group promotes the preservation of London's pub heritage and good pub design. Jane organises and leads crawls of pubs with interiors of note all over Greater London and was co-author with Geoff Brandwood of The CAMRA Regional Inventory for London: Pub Interiors of Special Historic Interest (2004).

I was recommended this book by a friend and I'm very glad for it. The book is very easy to navigate (it's split into geographical sections - North London, West London, South West, Central etc), has a lot of photos (must have at least one for every pub) and even has maps of the different areas. The descriptions are interesting and give a good idea of what to expect inside the pubs.
Possibly the best feature is the choice of pubs. I now know a number of new pubs I'd not known about before and probably wouldn't have without this. Some real gems. I'm certainly not stuck for choices now when picking a place to enjoy a pint. The book has accompanied me on several nights and days out and is sure to get a lot of use in future.

I bought this book for my sister and brother-in-law who live in London but rarely try out new pubs. This book is great. It's really well presented, and a nice book to look into and read its quirky information. It also has excellent recommendations for interesting pubs you would never find by chance. The mini maps to help you find them all are a really good addition too.

I would thoroughly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in historic pubs or architecture in general. The measure of any book of this type is whether it makes you want to visit the places featured. This book fills me with an urge to journey to London right now an immerse myself in the ambience of these wonderful buildings. The book is lavishly illustrated with superb photography throughout.
London Heritage Pubs is a worthy follow-up to Geoff Brandwood's earlier book 'Licenced to Sell - The History and Heritage of the Public House.' The authors deserve high praise for the contribution they have made to the protection of our rich public house heritage.
