Title: Gin glorious gin
Description: In and out of both legality and popularity - gin is the only drink to be simultaneously shorthand for metropolitan glamour and alcoholic squalor. It crosses paths with all professions and cuts through class - writers and artists, politicians and scientists, royalty - gin is a great leveller. 'Gin Glorious Gin' is funny, quirky, interesting, informative and full of famous names - Dickens to Churchill, Hogarth to Hemingway - and unknown voices who impacted our wonderful capital city.
