This Bewitching Poison: From Gin Palace to Temperance Hall

History of medicine experts Dr Richard Barnett and Dr James Nicholls explore London’s turbulent drinking past at an evening of alcohol and history accompanying the Royal College of Physicians’ current exhibition. The evening begins with a reception and an opportunity to see the show before the two lectures: ‘Dutch Courage and Mothers’ Ruin: The London Gin Craze’ and ‘An Imperious Impulse: Medicine, Morality and Drink in Victorian Britain’.
