In this special 10th episode of The Historic London Pubcast, we’re raising a glass to survival as we dive into some of the most explosive (literally) moments in London pub history.
Discover how historic London pubs stood strong—or crumbled—through three epic disasters:
The Great Fire of London (1666) – From Samuel Pepys’ great fire diary to the surviving London pubs, find out which iconic spots made it through the flames.
The London Beer Flood (1814) – A true beer flood disaster that drowned the streets in porter and wiped out part of a neighborhood.
Zeppelin Bombing in London (1915) – The Dolphin Tavern bombing brings the reality of WWI air raids crashing into pub life.
Whether you’re into London walking tours, London pub trivia, or just love a good story with a pint, this episode is your backstage pass to the resilience of London’s heritage pubs.
We blend history, humor, and hops in every episode—perfect for fans of London history podcasts, London travel podcasts, London pub podcasts, or anyone planning a London pub crawl, or historic London walking tour.
Tune in for unforgettable pub stories, London travel tips, and a cheeky dash of London travel guide gold.
