So, I'm off on a Literary pub crawl on Wednesday. I've picked six pubs in London that writers were known to haunt
Pubs selected (yes, there are loads)
1/ The Spanish Tavern Hampstead – Keats, Byron, Stoker – the Romantics
2/ The George In Southwark 75-77 Borough High Street
3/ Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese 145 Fleet Street
4/ The Lamb 94 Conduit Street – Charles Dickens
5/ Fitzroy Tavern Fitzrovia – Virginia Woolf, Dylan Thomas, George Bernard Shaw 16 Charlotte Street
6/ The Dove Hammersmith – Hemmingway, Regency, Pre-Raphelites – 19 Upper Mall Hammersmith (does food)
So, I'm preparing a piece of reading from a writer who frequented the pub to read to the group and we'll see how it goes. Maybe there'll be an insight gained from visiting these sites. Who knows? I'll return and let you know.
