In the nineteenth century there were over 40 pubs located in and around the docks on the Isle of Dogs, most of them are gone now but a few survive (like The Gun and Lord Nelson). It's an area of London I've never really explored but, as can be seen from this old map, it must have been a busy place in it's heyday! Imagine trying to do a pub crawl around this lot, what would you call such a thing, "the dog's bollock" obvs.
