‘History in a Glass’! Discover the 300-year gin story from ‘Dutch Courage’ coming to England during the Glorious Revolution of 1688 to the modern “Ginnaisance”! Gin seeped from Whitehall Palace into nearby Georgian slums, as the disastrous “Gin Craze” took hold.
Join Dr Helen Naylor, an official City of Westminster Guide to explore the rehabilitation of gin via Georgian law-making, William Hogarth’s iconic ‘Gin Lane’ and emergence of respectable distillers like Gordons. Discover the legacy of the American Bar‘s fabulous cocktails in the luxury Savoy Hotel!
