Can you tell your casks from your kegs? Could you spot a tavern from a gin palace? Do you know where in London the 1910s British government experimented in pub nationalisation? Can you name London’s first black-owned public house? On Thursday 2 February join Cristina Monteiro and David Knight, editors of Public House: A Cultural and Social History of the London Pub, in the community-owned Ivy House pub in Nunhead for the ultimate test of pub nerdery – The 2023 London Pub Pub Quiz.
Featuring special guest quizmasters and an array of prizes, the London Pub Pub Quiz is a deep dive into the diversity, design and culture of London’s boozers. Tickets are £10, and all proceeds raised will be used to support Open City’s year-round charitable work spanning educational programmes and public events making London more open, accessible and equitable. Teams can be comprised of up to ten players, but all participants must purchase tickets separately.
