This light-hearted guide offers a delightful tour of both old and new London taverns. Burke describes a pub as “the one place where a man may meet and talk with strangers on level terms…rich man, poor man, poet, merchant, soldier, sailor, squire, scholar, tailor, and, perhaps, thief.”

Thomas Burke (1887-1945) was a London-born writer best known for his vivid depictions of East End life and for popular works like Limehouse Nights (1916).
