Life in Pubs London pubs are a way of life for the British. They are in many ways an extension of their homes. They meet their friends there for an evening social and may often have their dog at their side. In the winter many pubs have a fire glowing. At best they look more like a home than a tavern.
Pubs are quiet places.
Keep your voice down and do not hoot as many now do in American bars. For patron and Publican this could go on for years. One story has it that a gentleman would walk his dog to his local everyday. He would sit and solve the world's problems with his friends, as we all have done, and then go home. One day as he entered his home, the pub was calling.
