Shakespeare's Pub: A Barstool History of London as Seen Through the Windows of Its Oldest Pub - The George Inn by Pete Brown

3.0

---

Shakespeare's Pub tells the (somewhat scanty) history of the George Inn, the oldest pub still standing in London. The story of the George is filled out with the history of Southwark in general- in Elizabethan times it was the entertainment center of the city, packed with pubs, inns, ale houses, brothels, bull-fights and theaters. The title is somewhat misleading but the book was enjoyable.
