Southwark is one of London`s oldest & most intriguing neighbourhoods; a hotbed of culture & commerce that has played a major part in the development of the capital. Its streets were familiar to Shakespeare & Dickens, both of whom surely drank, schemed & dreamed in the many inns & taverns that abounded. This is where Chaucer`s pilgrims began their long march to Canterbury, & many centuries later it was a major terminus for the many coaches that served the south of Engl&. Four hundred years ago Londoners flocked to the area to watch the latest Shakespeare play at the Globe, or perhaps to visit one of the area`s numerous brothels. Bear-baiting & dogfighting were popular attractions, too. People still pour into the area, although these days in search of more innocent pleasures such as high art at the Tate Modern, the foodie haven that is Borough Market or to catch a performance at the recreated Globe on Bankside. The one thing that has remained the same across the centuries is the diversity & quality of the area`s many pubs. Southwark Pubs offers an historical guide to some of the borough`s most fascinating hostelries, from London`s last surviving galleried coaching inn to the Thameside tavern that waved the Pilgrim Fathers off on their first voyage to America. There is a drop of liquid London history for the lover of ale & anecdote alike. ...
