Imagine Experiences The Gin Craze in London

Gin, or ‘Mother’s Ruin’ has long been the preferred tipple of the capital since the early 1700’s, let us show you some of the finest examples of Victorian Gin palaces to survive the Blitz and 1960’s property developers. There were 7,000 ‘dram shops’ in London in 1750! There are not so many today…but the quality is better! Gin is the new craze in town. There are micro-distilleries opening up everywhere. We will highlight some of the best original ‘Palaces’ and then you will have the chance to create your own unique blend!
