Duck the crime tape, we dare you to enter an episode that takes you deep into London's booziest crime scenes. From the Krays gunning down rivals at The Blind Beggar, to Ruth Ellis putting her ex six feet under outside The Magdala, to Jack the Ripper’s ghostly links to The Ten Bells, we’re serving true crime with a twist of lime and a splash of bitter history. These pubs have stories soaked in more than just spilled beer. Cheers!
