Interesting piece here by the Telegraph!!
It’s not just a pub. It’s not just a bar.
It’s a place to meet, to celebrate, to grieve, to date, to learn.
For many; it’s safety, its company, its calm, it’s a release, it’s social interaction and it’s often just simply a break from reality where problems lessen and you have some of the most productive conversations with people you’d have never thought of having them with.
The British pub offers something for absolutely everyone. This pub, the Gladdy, is a place for you, and a place for everyone. ❤️
In a city such as London, with its astronomical rent prices and cliquey circles, it’s nice to be able to hang out in a warm atmosphere surrounded by welcoming strangers – somewhere you can read a book, people watch, daydream or socialise.
