  • Locals

    £20.00

    Three years ago, Lydia Wood set about drawing every single pub in London (all 3,500 of them). Noticing the increase in their closures, Lydia began immortalising these buildings and their tiny details through intricate pencil illustrations which sparked the attention of a devoted online following.

Alongside the illustrations are Lydia’s own stories of drawing these establishments, her personal connection to each pub and the history she has gathered along the way, helping the reader fall in love with pencil drawings and the universal joy of a clear, lifelong artistic missi
