London Pubcats

by Vicky Lane, Tim E. White (Photographer)

London. Pubs. Cats. What’s not to love?

London Pubcats is a pictorial tribute to the hardworking felines that provide furrily companionable, safely mouse-free environments for drinkers in the UK's capital city.

The book introduces cat-lovers to prawn-guzzling Lily of the Anglesea Arms in Ravenscourt Park; cat-bride Billie of the Nags Head in Walthamstow; Japanese fan-favourite Lennie of the Pride of Spitalfields, off Brick Lane; beer-selecting rap fan Legz of the Charlotte Despard at Archway, and a great many more characterful pusses.

In words and pictures, London Pubcats portrays 17 pubs and a cat cafe and their resident felines. Journalist Vicky Lane discovers the stories attached to the cats, their owners and the pubs.

176 pages with over 185 colour photos and a map.

A Ronseal Book - does exactly what it says on the tin. Cats in pubs in London. You get some photos and a brief bit about each cat with a little bit of info on the pub. In fifty years time this will be a great historical item. The cover fell of my copy while I was reading.

Great photos! My only criticism is that I wish it was longer with more pubs and cats featured.
