Gin-uinely excited to be vising more of London's great Gin Palaces of London. We see the last 3 on our Top 5 list - The Viaduct Tavern, The Princess Louise and The Crown and Sugarloaf. Guide, Eric Blair shares tales of famous trials at the Old Bailey, London’s first public drinking fountain, a Cholera cure, Grade II Listed protected urinals, and even a royal scandal or two. It’s history with a twist, and dare I suggest, ice and lemon?
