## Resource

London’s pubs once pulsed as community hearts—vibrant, face-to-face gathering spots from the 70s to 90s.

Old photos of The Lamb, The Mayflower, and even Harrods’ Green Man reveal a golden era where pubs weren’t just venues—they were the glue holding neighborhoods together, a connection now fading in the city’s changing landscape.
