Gin Glorious Gin is a vibrant cultural history of London seen
through the prism of its most iconic drink. Leading the reader
through the underbelly of the Georgian city via the Gin Craze,
detouring through the Empire (with a G&T in hand), to the
emergence of cocktail bars in the West End, the story is brought
right up to date with the resurgence of class in a glass - the
Ginnaissance. As gin has crossed paths with Londoners of all
classes and professions over the past three hundred years it has
become shorthand for metropolitan glamour and alcoholic squalor in
equal measure. In and out of both legality and popularity, gin is a
drink that has seen it all. Gin Glorious Gin is quirky,
informative, full of famous faces - from Dickens to Churchill,
Hogarth to Dr Johnson - and introduces many previously unknown
Londoners, hidden from history, who have shaped the city and its
signature drink.
