CANCELLED: The history of London in five drinks

Starting on August 18, 2018 13:30

After the success of last year’s Medieval Wine Tour, Dr Matthew Green is back with an epic new whirlwind tour through the metropolis exploring how five drinks forged modern London.

Beginning outside St Michael’s Church, Cornhill, explore how, from the 1650s, “bitter Muhammedan gruel” – coffee – and “the drink of the Gods” – hot chocolate – transformed the social fabric of London forever. From there sip wine from coconut shells and learn about the snobbery of wine during the times of the warlords of Anglo-Saxon England before enjoying a pint of beer in one of the oldest taverns of London. For the finale, leapfrog to the present at the City of London Distillery which was at the heart of London’s recent “Ginnaissance”. This chic venue is leading the way in rehabilitating what was once widely regarded as an agent of oblivion and scourge of the working glasses.
