Summary

Is there anything worse than seeing a dead pub? Somewhere that once played host to thousands of sessions, reduced to nothing more than the local version of a chain supermarket. It's important we don't forget that these establishments existed, and this week's guest is someone that is fighting to keep their legacies alive; it's Jimmy McIntosh, creator of London Dead Pubs.

London Dead Pubs is an Instagram account where Jimmy documents the pubs of London that are no longer with us. Some have been redeveloped, some have been knocked down; but thanks to Jimmy we're able to gain an insight into some of the lost pubs that graced London. But will his dream pub be reminiscent of somewhere old or new?
