Thanks to the good folk of Londonist for running my piece on pubs which have reopened this year - cheers!

Review; ‘London’s Lost Pubs’ by Sam Cullen “…illuminating and infinitely compelling read. Witty asides, fascinating trivia and numerous photographs create a 'directory' of the wonderful pubs no longer in existence.” Recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ©️Colin Steer
