The City of London, the fabled 'Square Mile', is the financial hub of world trade. It is also an area with a rich and almost tangible history, a history that is reflected in its colourful and varied selection of pubs and watering holes. The City can boast one of the greatest densities of pubs anywhere in the world, and these pubs range from 17th Century taverns dating from just after the Great Fire of 1666 through to swish and hip modern bars catering for today's modern City worker. Amazingly there has been no dedicated book about the City of London's pubs since 1973's City of London Pubs, written by Timothy M Richards and James Stevens Curl. Given the area's growing residential population, the hundreds of thousands who work there during the week and the huge numbers of tourists it attracts every year, surely the time is right for a new guide to the City's myriad and characterful pubs.
